Checking the Oil
I was wondering about the engine oil dipstick on the Z. Does it come out all the way. It is kind of wedged inbetween the engine and my cold air intake. It didnt seem to want to come out all the way and i was afraid that if i pulled it out all the way it wouldent go back in. Is it supposed to come out all the way and how do you get it back in.

Our dipstick sucks. To best get an acurate reading with it, pull it out, wipe it down and set it asside for about 15 min, let the oil in the engine and in the dipstick tube drain to the pan, then re-insert the stick and remove quickly for reading. I sometime have to use a flashlight to fish the damn thing back in...
