I know it's a silly question but it does matter because my dipstick on my 2001 Anniversary Edition can go in so that the handle is oriented UP (more vertically- towards the firewall) or it can go in the other way so that it is oriented more down (or pointed more towards the radiator). I get different readings on the dipstick accordingly so I need to know.

Thanks!

 

When inserted, the dipstick handle should be angled somewhat upward, like an erection.

Does that help?

 

You must insert the dip stick at angle that best stimulates the release of fluid on it. You can test this by taking the dip stick back out and checking for lubricantion left on it.

 

In fact, you may have to take it out and put it back in several times to get the desired results.

 

This is awkward..

It's pretty straight-forward. You can find the instructions on the back of any box of condoms.

 

Sigh

 

That sounds... Well...

Treat your car as you treat your girlfriend to get the desired results

 

All of the Above..

 

When you pull out your dipstick to check the oil level, and it makes loud, wet, farting noises, then you're doing it right.

 

^^^We have a winner. Now stop it!

 

That's what she said!

 

I can't stop laughing!

 

This is getting weirder..

 

I'd treat your car to a wash or something before putting the dipstick in..

 

Oh wow.

 

lollerrzzz!>!>!>!>!>! i love it when convos take a turn for the worse...

 

Now that the wife and kids have gone to bed, I think I need to go out to the garage and check my oil.

 

Still one of my all time favorite quotes from Rochester

 

It is quite an epic quote, and it will go down in Maxima.org history.

 

When I saw the title to this thread, I thought certainly this person isn't actually trying to put the dipstick in "upside down". And, of course, they weren't.

Now, after reading the remaining posts, I can say for sure, we have some seriously sexually repressed members. That or we spend way too much time working on our rides. I meant the cars, get your minds out of the gutter.

 

This might be one of the funniest thread on any car forum that I've ever read.

 

That's indicative of a problem with a "loose seal." I recommend replacing the seal or finding a tighter seal as your dipstick certainly won't be growing to fit the seal appropriately...

 

Don't let clashez get a hold of it then...

 

It's my quote. If he wants it, I'll let it go for...






...$800.

 

Hmm.... Tempting...

 

Oh wow. How in the world did I miss this thread?

 

You're slackin'

 

I remember that quote as it was directed at myself

 

That was you, wasn't it? Too funny.
