Dipstick problem update.....
sch911: I put an ever so slight bend in dipstick end about a 1/2 inch up from the end. I pulled out the dipstick and put it back in the tube it took me only 5 minutes to get it all the way in. I only checked one time but if it only takes me 5 minutes to get it all the way in, I'm just going to live with it. If that slight bend helped then I thank you for the suggestion. As time goes on I'll let you know how it goes.
Mr. Mark: There is another dipstick tube just to the left of my oil dipstick. It has an expansion top on it (where you unscrew to the top handle and it loosens it so you can pull it off and screw it to the right to tighten the rubber top so you can't pull it off). The is nothing attached to the top (no dipstick attached to the top - the tube is empty)
There is nothing there but the tube and I don't know why it is there.
I'll stay in touch and let you all know what happens.
Thanks again.
