Message	every time I've pulled an oil pan since, I don't just place it somewhere else, I ceremoniously throw the dipstick as far away from the engine and intentionally "lose" it so that I spend an hour looking for it once everything is buttoned back up and ready for turn over, then celebrate the fact that the dipstick is not trapped but instead liberated, free to report the oil level to me on a whim....... sometimes I catch myself checking the oil level even though I know full well it is at the correct amount simply because I can...... :P ;) ____________________________________________________ "The dreaded 2nd windshiled wiper swipe when you turn it off its almost like tis showing you that it's boss, and it doesn't have to stop when you tell it to :("-College Boy (discussion on ptu relocation) "No good reason to put it there anyway. -Bernie (NoVA) False -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) You're correct, there are 3 good reasons -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) Wow, right again, just remembered another, make that 4 -vorpalZ" XD
