When I check mine I do it about 3 times as i've noticed you can get false readings sometimes as the dipstick rubs against the tube taking a bit of oil off it:doh

Mine sounds a lot more "tappety" since I've done an oil change, I did use a different grade though, was a lot quieter when I was using 10 40 Mineral

 

[elty001]

never needed one.pair of rubber gloves,grip it as hard as you can and twist.
if that fails stick a screwdriver through it.
just make sure you have got the right one if you do that:lol:lol:lol
made my own filter wrench from a bit of cargo strap and old screwdriver,never let me down and cost me nowt:thumbs
