Hi All,

I'm baffled. Drained my oil. Put 5 quarts in. Took car off jack stands -- now level. Started car. Idiot Oil light intermittently on/off -- made sense. Put in 6th quart - NO OIL ON DIPSTICK. Because I AM in fact an idiot, I put a 7th quart in - NO OIL ON DIPSTICK. Say wha?!?

The idiot light is now consistently off, but this idiot is still confused. Where is my oil?

Note:
1. There really is no oil on the dipstick -- its not a matter of near-transparent oil.
2. No puddles of oil on my garage floor.
3. Yes, I REEEEEAALLY did put 7 quarts of oil in there.
4. After letting the engine run, I can see oil on the dipstick before I clean it off to remeasure. Put stick in to measure again, nothing there.
5. Dipstick and tube appear to be fine/undamaged.

Thanks guys.
