Re: Anyone have a list of free manuals?
Dipstick oil level is usually measured with dipstick fully in - I.e. remove dipstick, wipe with rag, screw it back in, remove and check level.

OP: Ask a Honda dealer - I'm sure they'll tell you. Screwing it in, (oooer!), will mean a low oil level if it's wrong. Not good.

Have you got a local library? ( Reading Library )
If so, borrow or browse it. It not, tuff.
