Ken4555 1st Gear August 28, 2011 Share August 28, 2011 (edited) sharing this info... especially for drivers who change their own oil... Last oil change... N today's oil change... I poured in my usual measured amount (measured with measuring cylinders)... But oil was a lot above H mark... Even after starting engine n measuring with dip stick immediately. So today I seriously thought I didn't do a good job in draining my old oil... Maybe car was not on proper level ground... So when I checked my oil again a few hours after my oil change, I was prepared to drain some oil out... But when I pull out my my dip stick... Knn the yellow handle came off and the metal dip stick fell into the hole... WTF... maybe too many times measure oil level until handle came loose... hahaha... thank god i had a screw driver with a magnetic extendable tip (i bought many years back from a cute mei mei walking ard selling it at Maxwell market)... got my metal part of the dip stick out and fixed it back to the handle and measured my oil level and it was normal... wahhh.. heng sia... lucky i didnt drain any oil out... if not confirm oil pressure light sure come out and god knows what damage i might cause... hahaha... just sharing....

Ken4555 1st Gear August 30, 2011 Author Share August 30, 2011 Must be those what neo... type magnet. Very strong and good. if the neo magnet extendable thingy is much cheaper then those super over pried filter magnets, then can buy a few of the thingy and put on my oil filter.. haha actually i got about 8 very strong coin shaped magnets on my oil filter now (got it from some where free... its so strong when 2 stick together i cant remove them with one hand even two hands a little challenge)... watever it does and if its only in my mind, at least i feel good about it... haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
