Rb26 Dipstick Location

[ibrox90]

let me just start by saying this seriously embarassing but to avoid it further I'm biting the bullet.


Where in gods name is the dipstick located on and Rb26?

[Ben C34]

In the engine bay. Coming out of the block. Inlet manifold side.

How much and what type of oil do you plan on pouring into the engine?

Do you know where to pour it?

[iruvyouskyrine]

Obviously he knows where to pour it, that's why he's looking for the dipstick, duh!

I feel if you can't find the dipstick, you shouldn't be servicing your car

[Sinista32]

As you look in the engine bay from the front it's on the left under the plenum.

Stand on the drivers side of the engine bay towards the front

It's directly across from the front lip of the Fuse box and under the Plenum (yellow)

Can be difficult to see if you have an after market fuel reg + gauge, oil filter relocation, catch can with pipes, and engine stabiliser etc ..

This

You can't blame me for being skeptical.

plugs. oil, filter,

never been an issue

5 Litre in 5 out . cept now there's a drip or two on the driveway so just trying to monitor it.

and make sure its definatly engine oil which i believe it is

[XKLABA]

Grabs popcorn and settles in, this should be good lol

Can't find bright yellow dipstick but managed to rebuild gearbox

[Sinista32]

likely sump plug

use a new washer ?

[Ben C34]

A few drips on on the driveway won't drop the sump level enough to notice. So no point looking for the dipstick anymore.

[89CAL]

Who services a car without checking the oil level?

Confirmed. You don't live up to my high RB servicing standards

[XKLABA]

A few drops off oil on the driveway just confirms its a GTR

You how to stop oil drips on your driveway from a GTR ?

Park it on the grass

[jiffo]

In my experience if the dipstick is hard to see the engine's been out and the tube has been bent/pushed under the plenum.

The stick is in difficult spot, but I guess that goes for everything on a 26.

OP has a 33 too, things are much worse on a 32.

[rondofj]

Did he say hes planning to pour the oil through the dipstick tube? Since hes not sure where the oil filler is.
