RE: Oil level

[Richard Hudson <richard.hudson@domain.elided>]

Mine has a tube that finishes about 3cm shy of the top of the exhaust
manifold. It is fixed very solidly in the block.

If I don't put the dip stick back in the hole correctly it heats up on
the exhaust manifold which can make checking the oil during a long
journey interesting.

	Hi Brian and All

	You mention a tube that the dip stick goes into that may be
loose.

	On my stag there is no tube and the dip stick goes directly into
the engine
	block, should there be a tube or is this an aftermarket gadget ?

	If there should be a tube then am I running the engine on low
oil levels.

	If so the car has performed well and no problems !!
