Your dipstick is showing a quart low because the oil level in your engine is below the recommended level. This could be due to oil consumption by the engine, a leak, or simply needing an oil change. It is important to top up the oil to prevent damage to your engine.
An ounce is 1/32 of a quart (0.03125 of a quart). A quart is 32 ounces.

The oil dipstick has a small gasket at the bottom of the dipstick. Replace the gasket with a new one and the oil should stop leaking.
It depends on where it is on the stick. The full mark should represent 5 quarts of oil. The add mark means you are a quart low (4 quarts)
You can check your automatic transmission fluid in your 1992 Chevy Cavalier with the transmission dipstick. The dipstick will have marks that indicate whether it is full or low one quart.
hehehe... "dipstick"... teehee
With a warm car on level ground, start car, pull transmission dipstick and wipe with a clean towel.Replace dipstick, let rest for 5 seconds, remove stick and check level.Add a max of 1 PINT of fluid if low and recheck as above. Do not overfill.1 quart low is fixable. 1 quart over could be $2000 mistake.GLDean
the same as they do on any other vehicle's dip stick. the lower mark (closest to the tip of the stick) indicates you are a quart low. the upper mark indicates that you are topped off. if there is cross hatching in between the two marks that means that you have the correct amount of oil in your engine--between full and a quart low.
there should be two hole near the bottom of dipstick if the oil is at the top of the second hole from the bottom its full if its at the bottom hole its a quart low
one quart. Use the oil dipstick!!
Start with a quart and then check the dipstick.
Approx 1 quart.
First off, that sounds entirely normal. The oil light comes on as a diagnostic to show that the light bulb is working.Second, check the oil, just to be safe. It is a rule of thumb that if the oil level is at the lowest mark on the dipstick, the engine is a quart low. If it is half way up the dipstick, it is at an acceptable level, but is still half a quart low. Add accordingly.10w30 motor oil is a good weight to run in a 3.8L. 5w30 and lower (5w20, and 0w20) is just too thin, especially for a 2001.
A small line engraved on the dipstick near the bottom of the dipstick will show FULL
