I may be wrong but I think that is normal if you've just started the engine and then pulled the dipstick out very quickly. It's slightly lower air pressure in the sump as the oil is pumped out and around the engine.

thanks for reply ,,,,,, its the same even if you leave it for 5 mins etc also that much vac is not normall as you can hear the oil gargle etc i dunno what is cause but its for sure racking my brains or lack of brain other thing i noticed was you can get the same sound from undoing the filler cap !!! (i,e top end presser ) im wondering if theres a oil way blocked
