idosubaru Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I assume I need to replace the oil dipstick tube. But I have two foresters sitting right next to each other and the curvature and spacing of the dipstick tubes are identical. And the dipstick will go almost all the way down in one until the last 4" or so no matter how i turn it. Deer impact - But the front damage didn't require the radiator support to be replaced, just bumper and headlight and all the airbags so I assume they were traveling at a decent clip. It pretty much has to be the dipstick tube but just wanted to make sure because it doesn't appear bent visually when comparing side by side. Much not take much for them to hang out internally on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Did the dipstick tube pull up out of the pan? It's just in there with orings on the bottom of the tube and the bracket and bolt at the top. Worth a look. Edited July 8, 2022 by lmdew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
