LandyManLuke Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 It's quite common for the tube to come loose and drop down in to the sump by 10-20mm or so. It's clamped in place by an olive and nut. If the nut loosens just a bit the tube will slip through the olive, lowering the dipstick in to the oil. Undo the nut and carefully remove the tube - pull the nut, before the tube. you don't want the olive being pulled off and dropped in the sump. You should see where the olive shoud sit - and where it is currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I posted the LR tech bulletin on here about incorrect oil dipstick readings, a search should fine it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
