Ford 360 FE has two oil dipsticks?
In my 1972 f100 4x4 I have a 360 ford FE engine. It has two oil dipsticks. Both on the driver's side. One is further to the front and the other one further back on the block. The front one goes by the oil filter and the back one seems to go further down into the oil pan but I'm not sure. I can't find anywhere that explains this? The back stick is slightly longer and the back one is the only one that registers. It could just be bc maybe the front stick is the wrong size that someone put in and is too short? Anyway, I'm just curious as to why it has two dipsticks. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.
Added (1). Yeah it wouldn't be transmission bc I have a manual transmission.
You sure the back one isn't the transmission? It would be a slightly larger tube.
Someone has changed the oil pan is using one from a different year.
or it's the wrong timing chain housing.
or you have a older 352/390 block.
- Is this a dodge 318ci or 360? There's an '85 dodge ram prospector 2wd for sale an the owner says it got a 360 in it but to be this looks like a 318… I'm a ford guy. I know a lot about big block FE's but not dodges. In the picture it looks like a small block but I'm not sure.
- Can I mix two different brands of car oil? I have a 2012 Ford Fiesta, and used GTX Ultraclean 10W-40, however I couldn't find this one again so I might Mobil 10W-40. Is it okay to mix the two brands?

Admitted to not being proud of the number of partners she was with. You Democrats seem to be unaware of this or maybe you simply downplay it. This is all political in nature, and you either know that or you are simply stupid! Why do you have Kavanaugh pegged as guilty? Isn't it innocent until proven guilty?
