Re: Need a dipstick tube

[Joey <jake4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used easy outs in the past, make sure it is in tight and usually the 
piece comes out. I usually change the oil right after and pour a light 
weight down the hole when the drain plug is removed to hopefully wash away 
any debris you might generate. Good Luck!
