Oil Dip Stick With GT Performance Pack

[ssyellow]

At first I wasn't too concerned but then realized that while pulling the dip stick out, it slides along the side of the tube and skews the oil reading making it quite a pain to figure out the exact measurement.

Obviously there really isn't too much you can do but I was curious if anyone has some tips or tricks? Feels like its one way or another around the strut bar and neither are really ideal.

Cold engine measurement checks seem to help as the oil has settled and is thicker...

Good to note, obviously I wait till the oil drains down to get the measurement but I did notice it was easier to get a reading after I let the car sit overnight. Thanks!

Had the same problem you did. Looked like it was easier to pull the dipstick from the back of the struts brace. NO! It's actually easier pulling it out and placing it back from the front of the brace. Doing this I got an accurate reading without all the slop.
Hope this helps.
