Would this read as low?

Sorry I know it's a crappy pic. But seems to come up barely into the grid or right to the bottom of it. Recently found a oil leak. Waiting to get it into the shop just trying to keep an eye on the levels.

Hey thanks my man. Now for the wild question. I remember getting Mobile 1 but cant really remember which type I got. Will it matter if I'm mixing two types of oils?

Yea my man you helped me on the switch to Mobile 1 And again much appreciated. You and greenhirnet are usually the first to come to my aide.

And not that it matters but I'm really not this dumb to not read a dipstick. But i am pretty frucking blind and colorblind to boot so this is a pain for me. Kids on the camaro reddit were saying almost empty. Which I can understand it's a crappy pic and darker toward the end if the dipstick.

This is one reason I upgraded my oil dipstick and bought one of the newer OEM cable types. Much easier to read.

So this is just a replacement for the dipstick no need to replace the tube?
was there any difference in the level reading?

Yeah. One of the 2 rivets broke on mine, so bought the cable type years ago.
