I wrapped a piece of electrical tape around the clear tubing based on the measurement of the dip stick. Also the engine was cold. Should not get hung up on anything I would think. However thanks for your alert! Would you comment on the reason cars have been flat bedded to the shop because of a dip stick tube. Thanks!
