You need to buy a dipstick. Part number 9336A. I have one. I'd let you borrow it if you were closer. :(

I've got one from the dealer but don't know how to use it. It looks like a throtle cable on my lawn mower and it is about 18" longer than the tube. I have heard there is a temperature chart you have to reference but I would like to see it in print.

I can hear my nephew saying right now "well I have a monkey for an uncle". Thanks again, I guess I just got frustrated looking.

I just use an old speedo cable that I put marks every 5mm to measure the depth of the fluid in the pan and the scanner to check the fluid temp. Who would of believed a few years ago, you would need a computer just to check fluid level?

Just like printers. Buy them for $50.00 and spend $45.00 on cartridges. :roll:
