Re: safari dip stick
thanks but the only thing i can find in there about oil is tellin me to change it every 5000k and two people having a long winded argument about wether to use 15/40 or 20/40 oil...

Re: safari dip stick
Id drain the sump and measure it check against a workshop manual allowing for the oil filters and then drill a 1.5mm hole in your dipstick

Re: safari dip stick
I'd just scan trademe for a wrecker and spend 5$ on the right stick.
phone Ross Bolus (secretary of the BOP club) He'll save you.
