I just got back from the dealer, getting service on my '04. While I was waiting, I took a look at the '07's. Besides the obviously cool dual intake, I saw the engine oil dipstick front and center. I pulled it out to see what craziness they designed this time, and to my surprise, it's about 2' long and STRAIGHT as an arrow, not some crazy bent **** like before, but straight. It goes in straight down, as well (i.e. no angle, just vertically straight down).

It seemed worth the mention!

 

finally! something simple and hopefully it'll work. haha

 

I have to battle with the damn thing evertime I check the oil, which I do very often because my Z loves to drink oil

 

^Yeah, it's real f#cking fun trying to document oil consumption using the dipstick when it has more twists than a Steven King novel...

 

The 07 dip stick is the best. So smooth to pull out and easy to get back in. Its nice and straight....

 

i don't borther checking my oil anymore...i could never get an accurate reading. You guys got any tips on how to get a more accurate reading?

 

i check my oil after my car has been sitting for a while, i.e overnight, then the oil dipstick is clean except for where the oil is. I just figure in the fact that there will be a lesser reading after the motor runs and the oil circulates thru the motor.

 

Is there a way to determine how many quarts low you are using the dip stick? I have an 03, and if I remember correctly... there isn't any marks on it to determine exactly how low or full my car is. Just one big mesh line with a letter on each end. Any suggestions?

 

lol nice i was to scared to pull my dip stick out cause i had a honda prelude and i just recently bought an 08 z and when i tried it was kinda snugged in there so i was like naw ill just leave it in there lol

 

I just bought mine but it seems its to long. Is this the right Part # 11140-JK20B or is it 1140-AC700?
I have an 03 Z with VQ35DE

 

I have no problems with my 03.... You guys suck haha
