Not enough oil was added.
After an oil change on a Honda VTX 1300, the oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick when it is fully seated. To get an accurate reading, make sure the motorcycle is on a level surface and the engine is warm but not running. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and then check the level to ensure it’s within the proper range. If the oil level is low, add oil gradually until it reaches the correct level.
i had same problem. the tubing the dipstick slides into, is two pieces that slip into eachonther. loosen up braket that's holding dipstick then adjust tubing. retighten bracket. this drove me nuts one day...
Where it indicates "full" on the oil dipstick. Overfilling will cause too much pressure and possibly rupture oil lines.
Remove the oil fill cap which has a built-in dipstick. Wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Stand the bike straight up in the riding position (not on the kickstand), replace the dipstick and remove it again. Check the level and color of the oil on the dipstick. * Note: When replacing and removing the dipstick, try not to shake the bike around as this will give a false reading.
Use dipstick as a guide. Fill to proper level when engine off after it has settled/drained back to the pan.
The 3.0 Jaguar engine holds between 4.5 and 5 quarts during an oil change. Add a little less, then keep adding to fill depending on the dipstick reading.
No, you do not have to screw in the dipstick to read the oil level on a Honda Rancher ATV. Instead, you should remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then remove it again to check the oil level. This method ensures an accurate reading of the oil level in the engine.

Add 2 quarts of Honda 4stroke motor oil then check the level @ dipstick and adjust accordingly. Good luck & don't forget to change the oil filter.
Pull over and park when it is safe to do so. Turn engine off. If you are not a mechanic call for help. Otherwise open the hood, wait a couple minutes, pull engine oil dipstick. Take notice of engine oil level reading on dipstick. If the dipstick reading shows nothing, do not drive any further until you can add oil. If the dipstick shows you have oil, you may want to have your car towed home. If you continue to drive the vehicle with the low oil pressure light on you may destroy the engine.
I am not expert but on the Sequioa, there isn't a dipstick because they use a special tranny oil that you don't change. It is a sealed system that you only change if you notice slippage. Called WS oil.
you will either have a hatch mark or a hole drilled in the dipstick if you have the hatch mark then at the bottom of the mark if a hole then the bottom hole
