R Cubed Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Can people measure their dipsticks please........ What I would like to know is the length of the outer tube from the point it enters the fitting on the sump ( please only need people with double / deep sumps ) to the top of it, and on the actual dipstick the Low mark to disc up by handle and also High mark to same place.

deadline Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Make sure that you get the dipstick tube all the way seated in the hole or you will overfill the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
