• Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube and oil level indicator on 2003 Chevrolet Express 3500?

  A: Rewiring the oil level indicator and tube begins by removing the air cleaner assembly followed by unfastening the retaining bolt on the coolant recovery reservoir before putting the reservoir aside. Start by extracting the oil level indicator from its tube and uninstall the bolt retaining the oil level indicator tube from its bracket on the oil fill tube. Finish with taking out the oil level indicator tube from the lower tube. Check the o-ring seal for damages and cuts before removing it when needed. First remove the lower oil fill tube bolt which is attached to the engine block before extracting the lower oil fill tube. Clean engine oil can be used for lubricating the o-ring seal before mounting it onto the lower oil level indicator tube. Place the lower oil level indicator tube behind the Exhaust Manifold while supporting the vehicle and then insert the tube into the block keeping the collar directly against the block surface. To install the oil level indicator tube bolt you must lower the vehicle before tightening it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). First normalize the upper oil level indicator tube to lower oil fill tube and then place the tube into the retaining bracket while tightening the bolt to 10 nm (88 inch lbs.). Position the coolant recovery reservoir properly before installing the retaining bolt to put back the air cleaner assembly.
