Dip stick bluing is fine, but some do not have dipsticks and just a sight glass....
I usually just carefully lay the tip flat on a pant leg, or a glove. But I'm always wearing pants when I'm "tractoring" but not necessarily gloves.I too have problems seeing the oil on the stick, so what I do is take a clean white paper towel. Remove the stick and lightly place the tip flat on the towel. When you raise the stick the oil level will be indicated on the towel.
Did I read that right? You take your BMW to WalMart for an oil change? I'm sorry but isn't that expecting a miracle?Twice walmart has broken my dipstick!
Some genius decided to make the pull section of the dip stick out of plastic. i do have plastic parts on my 1988 bmw that are still like new so, plastic has its place as long as it's not the cheapest chit you can find.
after a long wait wait, i broke the rules, i walked into the walmart work area and there was this tweaker with a power drill in his had ready to drill out the broken dip stick.
yes, he was a dip chit workin on a dip stick.
i pointed out to him that 1 bolt and an o ring holds the dipstick tube in place, shut the hood and left.
he assured my there was "some" oil in there.
