I don't see any oil on my dip stick, what's going on here? Options

[vi-tuyen]

hi guys. I have a 95 with 7afe, I just bought this car 1 month ago.
now, I just did the oil change, but when I pull my dip stick out to check for oil level, I don't see any oil on the dip stick,
but then I took my Tundra's dip stick and put in the engine to see If I have any oil, it show I have oils.

what's happen here?

Not to jack a topic, but Mstoochn, do you know what parts I need to fix those oils leaks, maybe some numbers, and a little tiny quick how-to? I'd like to fix my oil leak.

EDIT: Funny story actually, my friend had his friend change his oil. Finished putting the oil in, and the oil level was double. Turns out the stuff that was drained was transmission fluid. That was almost a nightmare. Be -very- careful not to drain your transmission fluid.

parts... valve cover gasket... can't remember if its one or two pieces... they usually are about $16-$20... dizzy o ring... maybe $3??

both are easy... valve cover gasket... 5sfe... pull your spark plug wires, undo the four nuts on the top where the spark plug holes are... pull off the valve cover gasket... clean both mating surfaces, use something like brakleen in the red bottle and razor blade on the half moons.... put in new gasket and FIPG the half moons on the corners... put cover back on, tighten to spec.

dizzy is just an o ring... two bolts on the dizzy... dizzy pulls out, clean shaft and replace oring... make sure to put a little oil on the oring to slide it back in smoothly and not knick the oring... semi tighten the bolts... use timing light to get correct position... tighten the bolts down the rest of the way to spec.

edit: oil pan is just a whole bunch of FIPG and 10 mm nuts/bolts... really easy but all your oil has to be drained first... then just clean it with the same stuff as above and apply the FIPG in the groove...
