2008 Chevrolet Corvette Dipstick Tube Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube and oil level indicator on 2008 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The oil level indicator replacement process starts by taking off the existing oil level indicator along with its tube bolt before removing the oil level indicator tube. The O-ring seal requires replacement only if it shows cuts or damage but can remain in use when unharmed. The O-ring must be taken out of the oil level indicator tube if necessary. The installation process requires a clean engine oil lubrication of the O-ring seal followed by proper placement of the oil level indicator tube. First support the vehicle properly before you insert the oil level indicator tube into the engine block until the collar lines up with the block then lower the vehicle. Insert the oil level indicator tube together with its bolt and tighten it to 25 N.m (18 lb ft). The oil level indicator needs installation and you should check the oil amount before adding more oil if required.
