Last eighth of an inch? Meaning? He went to the back of the machine and unscrewed the gascap. He found a dipstick on one of the shelves ... and slipped it in. The last eighth of an inch came out wet. Not very much, but enough to see if the damn thing would run. Hi, in the text above, does "last eighth of an inch" mean "one eighth of an inch on the other end of the dipstick came out wet"? Thank you.

Yes. In this case, "last" means "furthest from the handle of the dipstick."

Yes, you are correct. You pull out the dipstick. The amount of oil on the dipstick show how high the level in the crankcase was, when the dipstick was still in. Usually there are two marks on the dipstick. If the oil is between those two marks, there is enough. If there's no oil, or if the level is very low, then it might be below the bottom of the dipstick and it would come out dry. Starting the engine might wreck it. There wasn't enough oil. It didn't come up to the bottom mark. But the bottom 1/8" of the dipstick was wet, so there was some oil. It is probably safe to start the engine and run it for a short time.
