Tube Assembly

The service procedure for engine oil dipstick and dipstick tube starts with engine lubrication component inspection of oil filter adapter and oil filter element and engine oil pressure (EOP) switch. Proper inspection must be conducted on both the oil filter adapter and EOP switch in vehicles that use a spin-on oil filter design. Service procedures for the oil pan and oil pump screen and pickup tube need adjustment when comparing FWD and AWD vehicle types although the procedures for the oil pump remain identical between them. Caretaking approaches need to be followed when working on automatic transmission vehicles because related components show similarities with manual transmission setups but might need particular handling methods.

The process of fixing engine oil dip stick together with its tube starts with evaluating engine lubrication parts while following diagrams of the oil filter element, oil filter adapter, and oil pressure sender. During oil pan removal you must detach the automatic transmission bolts yet the manual transmission procedure will be identical. During the inspection process check both the oil pan and oil pump screen and pickup tube together with the oil pump. More information about each step can be accessed from the provided procedures.

Vehicle positioning must occur with the steering wheel facing straight ahead and the vehicle placed at NEUTRAL on a hoist for service and repair of the engine oil dip stick with its attached dip stick tube. Begin your work by taking out the oil level indicator together with the oil pressure sender. Workers should detach the block heater electrical connector while removing its wiring harness retainers from the vehicle. The service and repair process begins by disassembling the stud bolt and oil level indicator tube along with removing the O-ring seal for discarding. Set the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist before installing the new tube with fresh engine oil lubricated O-ring seal and tighten it to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.). Conclusion of the installation requires following the reverse order of removal procedures.

The work procedure for engine oil dip stick along with dip stick tube repair begins with hoisting the vehicle to NEUTRAL position. Extract the oil level indicator and oil pressure sender from their positions. The service and repair of an engine oil dip stick and dip stick tube start with disconnecting the block heater's wiring harness retainers along with electrical connector. The service begins with successive removal of the stud bolt and the oil level indicator tube resulting in disposal of the O-ring seal. Use new engine oil to lubricate the O-ring seal which should go onto the new components before you tighten the stud bolt to 9 Nm. The last step in the procedure involves performing the reverse order of removal to finish the installation.

Position the vehicle in NEUTRAL on a hoist.

Remove the four upper radiator support bracket bolts along with the two brackets, ensuring to tighten them to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) upon reinstallation.

Position the vehicle in NEUTRAL on a hoist.

Tighten the bolts to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.).

Discard it.
