I've also damaged the hex top of the dipstick and have to order a new one.

yeah their was alittle left in my last bottle, only a little but however but definitely some left over enough to fill a small medicine syringe anyway so I'm Hoping i nailed it, I'm done keep checking now I've checked it a million times and got a high level on one side yet if i flip the dip stick its 1-2 hash marks down, drained and fill it twice now and this was where i got pissed off!!, if it leaks ill drain alittle out, i THINK, I've got it however... track day thursday so ill soon know...
I'm trying to work out which dip stick i need, vortech sell 3 different angle options!!
The above constant messing around caused it to chew up... its on the edge of rounding off so I'm not messing with it again unless i HAVE to.
what is supring is how LITTLE fluid is actually in the unit takes, then onto of that its not even taking a full bottle when we are changing oil... its basically 0.1 litre in re fill bottles, then the unit needs around 5ml-10ml removed/not added from the refill bottle.... it must get mighty hot with that little fluid in their, that is really tiny amount of lubricating and cooling fluid... i wonder if that in itself will mean regular rebuilds, i liked the idea of a blower that doesn't use engine oil BUT honestly, it would be fair easier for me to have a unit that uses the engine oil for its needs.
