dipstick tube
 
Hello.....new to forum. seems that the top of dipstick tube has slipped down below plastic outlet hole. How to pull back up. looks to have tabs that hold in place? Many thanks in advance.

Thank you kjc2050, but it does not seem to be broken, just pushed down in trunk, where top of stick pushes in. do you know if i remove hex bolt on bracket i can get it there to push back up, stap back in?

I don't know. Try searching the forum for "dipstick tube repair" or "dipstick tube replacement" or something along those lines. ...or perhaps someone else can comment.

kjc........Thats oil (fill) tube. I'm talking dipstick tube. or more like a small hollow mesh type cable that the dipstick inserts in.
