you 07 owners are lucky to have an easy accessible dipstick. (end of rant)

 

no pain, no gain

 

not another one of these threads. The dipstick is very easy to do. I don't get how people think that's "hard" work. It's not as simple as other cars but it's not something i would moan about.

1. Get a napkin.
2. Pull dipstick out.
3. Wipe oil off the dipstick.
4. Put the dipstick back in the hole
5. Pull dipstick back out and look at the level behind.
6. Wipe the oil off the dipstick again.
7. Stick the dipstick back in the hole.
8. Use the same napkin to wipe off any excess oil that may have got onto the intake pipe and surrounding areas.
9. Throw away napkin.
10. DONE.

 

Great wright up SuperBlack350z...

 

It does suck, especially in limited lighting. Whoever designed it is was on crack. Its functional though and I guess that’s all you can ask for in light of the fact that the rest of the engine design is brilliant.

 

location location location


That is all.

 

While reading this, I kept thinking about jumping on my babe.

 

ya it took me about 10 seconds instead of the usual 5 seconds. its definetly the hardest dipstick i've seen to manuever but still not that tough.

 

This is the second rant on the dipstick in 2 days.

 

+1 too easy

 

haha i know how to use the dipstick. its not like i dont, i just hate the location of it compared to other cars i worked on. like one member said above, when you are in limited lighting, its frustrating to put back in. i dont need a write up.

 

well, i wrote that quick write up because most people ***** about how oil gets on other parts of the engine while putting the dipstick back. Plus, if it's too dark for you to see dipstick hole, it's to dark for you to check your oil level. Put a flash light in the car for emergencies.
