Question
Hi, The oil Disptick tube needs to be replace most likely due to my error. Can you please advise on how to do this? Thank you!

Answer
Replacing the dipstick tube is a fairly straight foward repair. It's held to the engine in 2 places the easiest is on the right side of the intake manifold, a simple nut on stud arrangement. The second is behind the manifold. That one is a bit harder to get to, you'll have to feel for where the bolt that holds the mounting tab and then remove the bolt. At both locations you'kk need a 10mm socket and various extensions. Once the dipstick is loose it's just a matter of wiggling it free.
