Crap?

I changed the oil after installing a magnetic drain plug earlier in the year. I don't like what I see:

It might be explained by what I saw when I paid attention to the state of the dipstick after adding exaclty a gallon to an empty engine that takes a gallon.

I see the top most mark on the right with the 'F' to the left, or above it. I see the end of the oil covering the 'F'. You want to put a lot of oil in according to this stick.

Alignment

To pay $100 for a stock alignment, more for corner weighting? I know it would be an argument to go with FM numbers instead of factory spec when it comes to my old Honda mechanic....

hub stands would allow me to do it myself. Sometimes that's about saving money. Hub stands aren't as cheap as jack stands. This would be about control and geekery, not money.
