Gene Berg oil dip stick first impression. | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I just got it today.It took few minutes to install,and I was ready to go.
With the ambient temperature of 85 F I drove the car for 10 minutes at 70-75 mph,my eyes were glued to the oil light,but never came on.Then I drove it for another 10 minutes at stop and go traffic with no problem.As soon as I stopped I opened the lid just o see if the "needle" had moved.It had moved about 40 degrees (angle)and still had ways to go before the 227 mark(screw) I parked the car for 30 min,and drove it again for another 10 min with the RPM'S reaching 3700-3800 at 70mph,and everything looked OK.
So far I like it.
I just had to share this with you incase somebody wants to get one.

You're set Lambros; good for you! As you know I'm a fan of that contraption.
