Guys,
My reply is further proof of my "newbie-mess". What I should have posted is that when I initially checked the oil level (cold engine) it was just at the bottom of the dipstick's hashmark. I added 4 oz at a time, and obviously didn't wait long enough for the first amount to settle (I was rushing) before adding the second amount. And another lesson learned- should not have assumed it needed another 4 oz. And thank you all for explaining the danger of gas getting into the oil. Now what "float" are you referring to?
