I recently acquired a 2004 G35X with the 6 cyl engine. The dipstick confounds me.... since it goes in at an angle.. apparently oil residue is on the side of the tube so when I pull out the dipstick to check the oil level, there is no clear point there the oil ends. there is residue well above the H mark and I know it's not overfull. If anyone could shed some light on how to read the dipstick when the oil is relatively clean I'd really appreciate it. i don't want to add oil when it doesn't need it and I want to make sure I do add it when it needs it.

I won't bother commenting on how difficult it is to even see where to put it since it's buried down out of the light.... and how contorted it is... whatever happened to straight down dipsticks that were easy to use?????

 

Only check your oil on a cold motor before it's been started for the day. Use a flashlight so you aren't guessing about where the hole is.

 

Not to be an ***, but learn how to use the search function before you learn how to use the dipstick

I did but didn't find the answer.... sorry if it was there but I missed it.. I did try at least cause I don't like irritating people like I apparently did you.

Sorry

 

I will admit the search function on the site isn't great. I always search google starting with g35driver and then typing in the key words and narrowing results just to the forum. So in your case it would be "g35driver oil dipstick." You should find what you need.
