  Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube and oil level indicator on Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Begin the replacement process of the oil level indicator and tube by cleaning the entry point of the engine block with compressed air before removing the oil level indicator from the tube. Take out the oil level indicator from the tube before removing the oil level indicator tube bolt. Better access to the oil level tube requires the vehicle to be lifted up to a sufficient height. The installation starts by removing the oil level indicator tube from the engine block while checking for any damage to the o-ring seal which could be reused. If the o-ring is intact continue by inspecting the seal and removing it from the tube before lowering the vehicle. The o-ring seal requires engine oil lubrication before installing it onto the oil level indicator tube. Put the oil level indicator tube in position behind the Exhaust Manifold before raising the supported vehicle to install it properly into the block with the collar fully against the block surface. Begin by lowering the vehicle and fasten the oil level indicator tube bolt with a torque of 25 nm using an 18 ft. Lbs. Setting followed by installation of the indicator on the tube.
