I just put my Drag3 in Saturday. I have a B18c and the oil dipstick won't fit between the manifold and the manifold bolt. I cut the dipstick off and put it in from the bottom to seal the tube, but can't check my oil. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there an aftermarket dipstick that will fit in there?

 

umm buy a new dipstick. it will fit but needs bending & for some people a slight shave of the rubber piece.

 

Find a big metal rod, stick it in the oil dip stick hole and try to bend the oil dip stick thing ... it's pretty strong.

 

Ooh...my friend did that and snapped the oil dipstick tube.

On mine, I just trimmed off a little of the rubber on one side.

 

you need to get that fixed asap, when running a turbo checking your oil everyday should become a common practice.

 

if i dont see oil leaking i dont check. checking everyday is kinda extream huh?

 

checking oil everyday is as extreme as changing your plugs every oil change!!

 

well when you run high boost your engine consumes a lot more oil... I run around 15psi and have a fully built motor, i usually check under the hood at least every day or 2 to make sure everything looks ok and all my fluids are where they need to be and what not. And yes i do have a cardboard mat under my car to easily identify if i ever do leak oil or any other fluids. And yes i am obsessed
