2003 Chevrolet SSR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube on 2003 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: One must start by pulling out the oil level indicator from the tube before removing the oil level indicator tube bolt and finally extracting the oil level indicator tube from the engine block. The o-ring should be inspected for damage or cuts because it can be reused when intact. You should remove the o-ring seal if there is a need to take it out of the tube. Clean engine oil can be used to lubricate the o-ring seal before its installation onto the oil level indicator tube. Use the Exhaust Manifold space to position the oil level indicator tube after vehicle support and block installation with proper collar level and lower support to finish. Lower the vehicle until you can position the oil level indicator tube bolt after which you should tighten it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) before mounting the oil level indicator on the tube.
