2002 Sentra Dipstick Length and Oil Capacity 1.8L

[de61]

Just bought my son a 2002 Sentra and it's obvious that the dipstick has been swapped out with a generic dipstick and I suspect that it is not adjusted properly.

Q1? What should the dipstick length be from the BOTTOM TIP to the top of the entry port?

Q2? What should the length be from the BOTTOM TIP to the LOW marker?

Q3? What should the length be from the LOW marker to the FULL marker?

Q4? .. and finally what is the oil capacity with a new filter (1.8L). The manual says 2 7/8 quarts.

Thanks,

Doug

I have the same question about the 2000 Sentra with 1.8 liter I bought for one of my kids. I bought a replacement dipstick from autopartswarehouse.com as the old one was broken. I changed the oil yesterday with the new dipstick installed and after adding 2 quarts it read about an inch above the high mark on the stick. What gives?
