oil dipstick(bayonette gage)

[bernard nowlen]

I have a pa-30 with IO-320 B1A's and the lyc part number for the gage is 74523. i have owned several 300/400 series cessnas and the left and right gages were calibrated differently due to the canting of the engine mount to be parrallel to the wing. It seems the pa-30 should have the same issues as the left engine oil will read higher than the right engine oil but my dip sticks are the same length and same have the same calibration marks. Ideas ?

Some folks have filed off the right engine dipstick markings and re-stamped them with the oil levels found when an oil change has been made. Then marking the top of the dipstick with right and left designations.

Its a wag anyway as pitch and roll do affect the level of the oil, but rule of thumb for the twinco is the left engine reads a half qt high and the right read a half qt low.
