[DeTomaso] really dumb question about oil

Is your dipstick the correct length. They came from the factory too long, which means it read 'full' when the engine was actually down a quart or more of oil. See the TSB about dipstick length - IIRC, it's supposed to be only 38" from the tip to the bottom edge of the cup at the finger handle that slips over and seals the dipstick tube. Others will confirm.
