are you serious? do you have your owner's manual?

Marklar 09-08-2008 05:58 PM

Pull off the engine cover, the dipstick is yellow and hidden way in the back towards the driver's side. Put oil in when it's low, the owner's manual recommends checking every other fill-up. Do you have an owner's manual?

I do not mean to be an asshole, but you really come across as a troll from this and your other threads.

Read it again. Read the whole thing.

YaXMaNGTO 09-08-2008 06:25 PM

Troll. Has to be...

Jedi54 09-08-2008 06:26 PM

2005 owners manual shows the location of the dipstick on page 8-11
I suggest you read your manual again

For posterity.

Both of your questions are in the owner's manual. You're either looking too hard or not hard enough. If you don't have the owners manual, I'd be happy to pm you a pdf file of the Quick Reference Guide which answers both of your questions on page 12 as well as containing much other useful info.

Cheers!

wow well i think he got it 5w30 GTX is a very good choice (however i think i may switch to 10w30 but that's beside the point) add oil when the oil is about half was down the "guage" on the dipstick that is almost a qt...

Easy_E1 09-08-2008 06:45 PM

Did some one leave the gate open?

DaRotary 09-08-2008 06:53 PM

What are you doing, don't pull that yellow handle!!! That will cause the vacuum sealed engine to..well, lose it's vacuum seal! The engine will require a FULL rebuild if you pull it.

You pulled it already, didn't you?

Totally not true. It won't require a rebuild, you just have to plug up the exhaust pipes with bananas and crank it for a few minutes. That will restore the vacuum.

Jedi54 09-08-2008 07:02 PM

^^ is that before or after you reset the flux capacitor???

You're suppose to use bananas?! :Eyecrazy:
I used oranges! :uhh:
Is my engine okay?

Marklar 09-08-2008 07:06 PM

Only ricers use flux capacitors. Real drivers use oscillation overthrusters. In any case, do not engage either until vacuum is restored. See the link below for helpful step-by-step instructions:
