I believe they moved it to the bottom near the oil pan area.

That updated dip stick looks nice. I have the older one and I have to check my oil level three times per one check because I never can tell where exactly it is. I guess I should consider purchasing the updated version.. probably like 30-50 bucks from the dealer... just a guess? Maybe I can find one for 10 bucks somewhere

I linked it in earleir in the thread. Here it is........ http://www.finishlineperformance.com...2&cat=0&page=1

Just wait till you buy some others stuff..........oil filters, etc., and throw it in there.
Again..........it WILL NOT look like the one they have pictured, it will be our standard dipstick, but will have the bumps on it!
