Got a brand new Cub Cadet 179cc 4 cycle engine snow thrower for Christmas. The guy at the store told me to change the oil after the first 8 hours of use and I just did that but I am having difficulty determining if I added enough oil. I drained a little under 16 oz of oil and added back in approximately 16 oz of oil. However, when I try to use the dip stick to determine if I have filled it properly it comes out with oil on it from the very top to the very bottom, the dip stick is pretty much no use at all. I don't think I overfilled it but thought I would check here to see if someone could offer some help/advice.

Thanks, Matt.
