Zero 0il on The Dipstick Even After Swapping Out

Hey guys,

So, Ive got a Cultus EFI and a couple of days ago, I noticed that all my engine oil had leaked out. Today, I took it to the mechanic and he told me that the oil filter was loose, so he tightened it up. I also went ahead and changed the engine oil. But now, after a few hours, I checked the dipstick and theres no engine oil showing up. I dont see any warning lights o r leaks either. Im not really sure what the real problem is o r what to do next. Any suggestions?

The slow drip from the oil filter is due to a faulty filter with an improperly crimped end cap. Its got a lot of oil pressure, so even a small leak can seem like an endless gasket problem.

Filters from the Champion/Fram factory in the US had this issue for a while, and I made the supplier cover the cost of lost oil. Now, if new lube techs messed up the gasket on the filter, get ready for a full day of mopping! Its gonna be a busy one, my friend.
