I agree its in a wierd spot but the way you guys are making it sound... lol. come on.
This dipstick has been described in earlier threads as the dipstick from hell. Have not seen an 07/08 dipstick but the one on the 370z is a thing of beauty.
Overnight checking is the best, I have had trouble after a 2 hour sit.

haha, too bad the post ticker keeps on ticking.
its not a problem, figured out going slow gives the needed reading. Its because the handle is all funk and keeps hitting the intake.
