350Z Dipstick

Ive said it before and I will say it again.
Whoever designed the dipstick on the early 350Z deserves to be shot.
Bloody impossible to read and a ****** to get back in

Agreed! Thankfully virtually zero oil consumption means you can trust it for long periods...

Yes agreed and I imagine many 350Zs are running around with the wrong amount of oil in.

The 370Z dipstick is a doddle.

has ken still got a 240. I think he has even forgotten where he parked it

some say that the garage has been closed for sooooooooooooooo long that there is a preservation order on the doors and they can not be opened without a royal warrant.

Trouble is he has been drawn to the dark side and cant see the way back

Totally agree, never bother to try between oil changes it doesn't use any anyway.

Some fair comments there Mr S, but believe it or not Im waiting for some info from DJ to get the ball rolling and get the car ready for next year.
Hope your heart can take the shock...
