Dipstick Tube

Start the oil level indicator replacement by disconnecting the number 6 cylinder Spark Plug wire followed by removing the oil level indicator along with its tube bracket bolt to remove the oil level indicator tube. The oil level indicator tube needs cleaning and the technician should apply gm sealant p/n 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) or equivalent sealant 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) below the tube bead. Secure the engine block installation of the oil level indicator tube according to service precautions fastener notice. Use the oil level indicator tube bracket bolt to complete the secure installation by tightening it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Finish installation of the oil level indicator while looping back the Spark Plug wire to connect it with the number 6 cylinder Spark Plug.

The process for oil level indicator and tube replacement starts with removing number 6 Spark Plug wire from the Spark Plug before removing the oil level indicator and its bracket bolt followed by the removal of the oil level indicator tube. Before tube installation place the correct sealant around the oil level indicator tube 12.7 mm (0.50 in) below its bead point. Use the specified part number for the suitable adhesives and lubrication or sealing materials. Secure the oil level indicator tube into the engine block placement and add the oil level indicator tube bracket bolt while tightening it to 25 n.m (18 lb ft) torque specification. The last step involves installing the oil level indicator before reconnecting the number 6 Spark Plug wire to the Spark Plug.

The replacement process for the oil level indicator tube begins by removing the oil level indicator followed by the removal of its oil level indicator tube bolt before extracting the tube from the unit. When working with an oil level indicator tube that is hard to remove move the stud to open lateral space and apply penetrating oil across the tube base before moving it forward and backward until loose. Before installing the oil level indicator tube you should clean it thoroughly then apply GM sealant using the specified sealant part number at 12.7 mm (0.50 in) below the rubber bead area. Place the oil level indicator tube inside the engine block while adhering to the fastener caution to stop damage to the vehicle hardware. Finally you should reinstall the oil level indicator tube bolt into position at 25 Nm (18 lb ft) torque and reinstall the oil level indicator.

The service process for engine oil dip stick and dip stick tube begins by unplugging the Spark Plug wire from its position on the oil level indicator tube followed by removing the oil level indicator. Start by removing the oil level indicator tube bracket bolt from its position in the bracket before obtaining the oil level indicator tube. Regular gm sealant p/n 12345739 together with equivalent products can be used to seal the oil level indicator tube by applying material at 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) below the bead. Fit the oil level indicator tube into the engine block according to the information for torque, size and fasteners in service precautions. To install the oil level indicator you must first secure the oil level indicator tube bracket bolt to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.), yet reinstall the oil level indicator before reconnecting the Spark Plug wire to the adjacent Spark Plug.

The first step of replacing the oil level indicator begins by removing the Spark Plug wire from cylinder number 6 and then you need to take out the oil level indicator and loosen its bracket bolt before tube removal. Clean the oil level indicator tube then apply gm sealant p/n 12346286 (Canadian P/N 10953472) or equivalent to its base 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) below the tube bead. Secure the engine block oil level indicator tube with the bracket bolt following the fastener notice by tightening it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Complete the installation by putting back the Spark Plug wire to the number 6 cylinder Spark Plug along with the oil level indicator.

The process to replace the oil level indicator involves removing first the number 6 cylinder Spark Plug wire then unscrewing the bolt from the oil level indicator tube bracket before extracting the oil level indicator and tube sensor. Before installing the tube into the engine block, clean the indicator tube thoroughly then put gm p/n 12346286 (Canadian P/N 10953472) or equivalent sealant around the tube at a 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) distance below its bead. Begin by installing the bolt that supports the oil level indicator tube bracket and secure the bolt to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) torque before putting back the oil level indicator and reconnecting the Spark Plug wire to cylinder number 6.

The service process for engine oil dip stick and dip stick tube begins with number five cylinder Spark Plug wire removal followed by removal of the oil level indicator. The service begins by unscrewing the bracket nut from the oil level indicator tube bracket before taking out the tube. Before installation you must clean the oil level indicator tube while applying gm sealant p/n 12345493 or equivalent to its bead at 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) below the position. The engine block admission of the oil level indicator tube must be completed while implementing the nut to the oil level indicator tube bracket before securing it with a 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) torque. You should return the oil level indicator to its position while reconnecting the Spark Plug wire to cylinder number five.

The service process for engine oil dip stick and dip stick tube begins by removing the thermostat bypass pipe. Start the procedure by extracting the oil level indicator along with the oil level indicator tube. Begin by removing the stud to gain lateral access for the oil level indicator tube. Then apply penetrating oil to its base before moving it in all directions to break the seal. Before installing the tube into the engine block wash the oil level indicator tube then apply gm sealant p/n 12345739 or equivalent around the tube at a 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) distance below the bead area. To finish the task you must reinstall both the oil level indicator tube and the thermostat bypass pipe.
