question about an 03 mustang gt
 

I just bought a mustang gt 3 months ago. I was checking my oil and the dipstick is all swirlled up..... it doesnt look normal at all. please let me know if this is normal or if it needs to be taken in? thanks guys!

Describe what you mean by swirled. Did it look like chocolate milk shake (frothy, murky, muddy)? If so, could mean water in the oil which is fairly typical of a blown head gasket.

Are you talking about the oil on the dipstick? Or, are you refering to the dipstick itself? I have an 01, and my dipstick is twisted from just below the handle to the bottom where the oil measurements are. Like a spiral. This is normal.

I found that it gives me a much easier, more reliable reading than my 1996 GT, which had a flat dipstick.
