The felow just down the road from me ruined the IH engine in a road grader because of the odd way the stick was marked. One side was marked to check oil with the engine warm and running. The other side was marked for checking oil level with the engine shut down. The difference was that the side marked for a running engine had the marks about two inches lower than those for a shut down engine to compensate for the oil circulating through the running engine. He made the mistake of reading the running side of the stick with the engine shut down. This cost him an engine.
