    Works fine.
    Remove the dipstick, wipe clean, then wait a few minutes for the oil in the tube to drain back down into the pan and you'll get a good reading.

    Neither, the console cover looks ghetto IMO and didn't want clean kit.
    I prefer free shipping which is what I got. :D

    Yeah, we used to hang it out the back of the wife's Tahoe but I decided to throw it on my truck this year. Been doing it for years the month of October, get quite a few double-takes, and a few ppl freaking out a little.

    Oh washed and waxed her too. Nothing beats the feel of smooth paint, except for large breasts in your hands.

    I got her dirty already, Taco, not the boobs.
