Default Speedo

Can anyone explain a little helpful info on why my speedo will fall to -0- on occassion? It works fine and then drops. Speed sensor Problem perhaps? also, Wht would my dipstick not reach the oil? I bought a new dipstick hoping that the previous owner misplaced it dung a rutine oil change, but the new one is the same length and I thought the tube was perhaps different and a little longer than stock. I have seen pics of the tubes and it looks the same.

I don't see why the oil is not showing on your dip stick. Weird. Is the car telling you it is low on oil ? the message will display on the DIC if the oil is a quart low.

No, I changed rhe oil and never showed up before either. I was driving it home from purchase and stopped for fuel and checked the oil and nothing showed. Then I stopped at first garage and had it replaced. I watched them drain and had correct amount. Still no oil on dipstick.
