That's a good tip to use when filling the transmission. It is very hard to see clean oil on a paper clip.

I no longer joke when it comes to the following:

#1 coolant equipment
#2 oil
and a very distant third: bird bombs


video of 986 oil checking (the dip stickers).

The critical phases:

1. remove dip stick
2. re-insert dip stick
3. check oil level

Oil filter change and new oil, this will take 2, 5 liter jugs of your favorite oil. And a large stein of your favorite brew.


As for the dipstick, I got lost on this one. Was everybody talking about Perfectlap?
