Anybody got any tricks for getting that miserable 18-19 5.0 dipstick back in the engine. I feel like I’m trying to thread a piece of spaghetti through a soda straw. The plastic tube is so tight and the dipstick so flimsy, that I have to grab the stick just above the tube and push it in an inch at a time to try to keep it from sticking and bending. Not fun when the dipstick is too hot to handle. How do you guys approach this?
Only thing that can offer some relief is checking the oil cold, but Ford says hot after sitting 15 minutes.
