This happens more often @ night

 

I don't have any issues with taking it out or putting it in. Its just getting that good oil reading.

 

I miss old school. Everybody sports the baldy now

 

Yea, it's retarded

 

Hi guys, I just got a G35 coupe. Stupid question but how do you even pull out the dipstick in the first place? On all my previous cars it was very easy, but this one I'm not sure. The manual just says pull out the dipstick.. So do I just pull harder on it straight up? That would mean a lot more force than on most cars or is there some other trick to it (push it in first or sideways etc!? ). I wouldn't want to crack anything first week of owning the car..

Thanks ahead of time. I feel retarted not being able to check the oil level in the car - basic stuff!

 

just pull it up. if you think getting it out is fun, wait until you put it back in. when possible, i take the airbox out for better access. has this been improved at all on the vq37

 

Wow, putting it back in is a pain in the a$$. Speaking of annoyances, does the sun glass holder actually hold anyone's sunglasses? It couldn't fit anything remotely resembling sunglasses Great design.

 

Is there an easy way to clean that gold colored (see attachemnt) dipstick ramp?

 

haha, ye it's mad stupid, but with lots of practice you will manage it only took me like a month to get it right. lol

 

ya its like a 91 pos civic. even my box truck has a nicer dipstick than this. also my 06 at coupe didnt have a tranny dipstick till i bought one made for a z. stupid car lol

 

Check your dipstick Jimmy!! Sorry just had to

 

+1 on it being dirty and letting sand in the engine when you pull/replace the dipstick at a gas station.

 

I was changing spark plugs yesterday so I took that guide rail off and cleaned it up.

 

^ i guess your cover is leaking a little oil also.

 

nah. I only have that stuff around the dip stick. Prolly just some drips that fall from the dip stick that accumulated there for last 90k.
