Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube on GMC Acadia?
A: The first step before replacing the oil level indicator and tube is to turn off the ignition. Start by removing both the oil level indicator from its tube before you extract the bolt holding the tube along with pulling the complete tube upwards through the Exhaust Manifold. The procedure calls for discarding the seal only when replacing the oil level indicator tube seal alone. The next step is to place a new seal on the oil level indicator tube before tube reinstallation. The installation of the oil level indicator tube bolt needs a 10 n.m (89 lb in) torque setting. Reinstall the oil level indicator at the end of the oil level indicator tube.

Q: How to replace the Dipstick Tube on GMC Sierra 1500?
A: First remove the oil level indicator and the oil level indicator tube bolt before extracting the oil level indicator tube from the engine block while examining the o-ring seal for any damage because a reusable o-ring seal requires no replacement if it remains intact. The o-ring seal should be taken out from the tube if required. Clean engine oil serves to lubricate the o-ring seal when you put in a new o-ring seal onto the oil level indicator tube for installation. Place the oil level indicator tube between the Exhaust Manifold and engine block after raising and properly supporting the car. After positioning the oil level indicator tube into the block with collar facing the surface, lower the vehicle into its normal position. Seal the oil level indicator tube with the bolt by tightening it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Place the oil level indicator afterward.
