• Q: How to Service and Repair the Engine Oil Dipstick Tube on 2008 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The first step to work on the engine oil dip stick and dip stick tube includes placing the vehicle into NEUTRAL position on a hoist. Start by removing the LH exhaust manifold before taking out the bolt which secures the oil level indicator tube. The bolt needs to be tightened to 10 Nm during reinstallation (89 lb-in). Clean engine oil must be applied to the O-ring seal and the oil level indicator tube mating surface together with the engine block to stop leakage. The installation requires a correct position for the O-ring seal while also preventing it from rolling onto the indicator tube; discard the old O-ring seal. Conclude the installation process by returning the device according to the original removal steps while employing a fresh O-ring that received clean engine oil lubrication.
