looking for an oil dipstick and tube for a 5.0, the one I have is from an F150 and is way too long. Thanks
Cut the dipstick down and re-mark it. If the oil is good now, proper level, then scribe a line in the newly cut down version. You can also cut the tube down easily with a Dremel.
There's a Lincoln at the yard I need to get to for pieces. It has the dipstick like ours. No time to go.
I have no way of knowing if the oil is at the right level.
i had the same problem what i did is add 5 quarts exactly and then notch the stick. i cant remeber where i got the one i bought but the reading was off so i just cut a mark into it
I dont want to make my own parts, I would rather have the stock pieces.
haha yeah so would everybody
Pretty sure I have one ...I'll check and get back to you
Thanks buddy btw, I owe you...... :)
I think one from a 5.0 Crown Vic/Grand Marquis/Town Car would work as they have the same oil pan.
they probably would but the yards around here suck and have nothing.
From what I have found, you are best off to start from a fresh fill and mark the dipstick. The 5.0 is notorious for not being accurate. That goes for a 'stock' one or a replacement from something else. Typically the 5 quart mark is way up the dipstick past the hashmarks.
I do have one ... let me see how much to ship it and I'll let you know
You are awesome my friend! :)
the nice man in blue brought me a box containing a dipstick and tube today :D Thanks Hypostang!!!!!
