98 4.6 dipstick?
i just got a 98 f150 with a 4.6 and am wondering if i have the right dipstick in it, he said he replaced the tube. The dipstick i have is like no other ive seen in a truck its like braded wire with a peice of steel on the end to check the level with. is this correct? any input would be great
thanks

BTW, I also have the weird 'cable/wire' type dipstick...it's a PITA when it comes to pushing it back in, but it seems to be accurate.

My 98 has that kind of dipstick. I also have the filter up by the fender. 6 quarts gets it close enough. 200,000 miles running on 6 quarts each time at changes...( knock on wood....a couple times ...LOL...) I would rather be a snitch under than over.
