My oil dipstick came with no markings on it. I was told by Aerosport that this is the way they come - they are supposed to be manually calibrated by adding oil 2 quarts at a time and marking the dipstick each time.
Unfortunately I've already added full oil to the engine, so I'll have to wait for my first oil change to do the lower markings.
Question - how on earth do I mark the dipstick? On production airplanes I've seen the dipsticks with the tiny markings engraved on the stick... I don't have the equipment to do that sort of engraving...
