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

  A: Start by disconnecting the cylinder number 2 Spark Plug together with the associated wire before proceeding with oil level indicator and tube replacement. Begin by removing the oil level indicator from its attachment to the tube while taking off the tube bolt which leads to detachment of the tube from the engine block. Check the condition of the o-ring seal for possible damage; reusable use depends on its complete state. The o-ring seal must be taken out if it needs replacement. The installation of this o-ring requires cleaning engine oil lubrication before putting it on the oil level indicator tube. Position the tube where the Exhaust Manifold ends before raising and supporting the vehicle. Insert the oil level indicator tube into the block while maintaining the collar level with block surface then lower the vehicle. Fasten the oil level indicator tube with its bolt while applying 25 n.m (18 lb ft) torque. To complete the installation process position the oil level indicator on the tube before you return cylinder number 2 Spark Plug along with the wire.
