On the top it gets so clear to the point where I can no longer actually see the oil, but can just make out the line where the oil level stops. Is this line the accurate oil reading, or should I base the oil level off where I can noticeably see the oil color still? __________________ '10 370z -- '09 Ducati 848 -- '05 Kawasaki 636 Track Bike -- '02 Sentra SE-R Spec V
