Does it fit as snug as the original dipstick?

 

Zippy, just take a triangular metal file and file two or three knotches in your current dipstick and save $80 :P

 

Is that what you did? Ive heard of this being done.. Ive check my oil a few times and I have been just checking it first thing in the morning... so basically the engine sits over night... I can read my original just fine that way... When do you check yours?

 

No... not quite.

 

I check mine cold too. No, I just read about it.

 

That's what ive been doing...checking it cold should give you the best reading anyways I would think..lol..

 

Hummm not quite ... That's not to reinsuring

 

Think hotdog down the hallway :O

 

Ha Ha omg to funny

 

Considering the OEM dipstick was quite tight, and that I'd never risk a dipstick coming loose while driving, you should be comfortable getting one. Or do the mod on the OEM like SG recommends..... either and you'd be fine.

 

325,000+ views of this thread? Wow.

 

Isnt that the way we like things// "tight" I don't need something popping off down the road!!

 

 

 

This is more than an O-ring problem, IMHO. I think it would rattle around in the top of the tube if I'd left it in. I'll let you all know what happens.

And SuperGreg, checking the oil will never be the same for me ...

 

That's what.... about 40 views for every post ?

Wonder what the record is for views per posts in a thread. Hmmmmm. Research job for the moderators. They need something to do anyway. ;-)

 

This has to be the best support group ever!! ha ha

 

It was only 12 until the current crop of deviates got here!

 

Sorry - almost missed your question, Zippy.

No, it's not anywhere near as tight as the stock one. It doesn't matter if the insertion is dry or generously lubed.

Haha nice way to describe it, i think it jumped up after the checking the oil threads today lol

 

Ha Ha well this thread has become quite loaded with information!! Thanks for the reply/info

 

Sorry, was thinking signature, typed avatar.

 

You guys crack me up!

Haven't been asked to upgrade my dipstick yet...so I'll hold on tight to what I have for now.

Forgot to post that I was given the 'survey' speech when I pick up this weekend...I was pretty disheartened. Don't guilt trip me into giving you 10's because it affects your bonus. There needs to be a better way to express the importance of the survey without making the customer feel guilty.
