Replying to: roadburner (Feb 13, 2008 9:32 am) I've also installed more than a few home theaters, including a 7.1 setup for myself Do you by any chance post on any of the home theater forums, such as AVS? Bruce

Both great cars and I don't know that the price difference is really worth it, except it is to me. I too choose the 550 sport and am getting the same MPG. The car is in a class all its own! All I want is a dipstick so that I can verify the sensor readout. I don't think that is too much to ask. Funny thing... I was really upset when the oil sensor on my 550 was showing the oil level was too high after changing the oil twice. No dipstick and the sensor doesn't work... I was MAD! I took it back to the dealership and they called out their chief mechanic to take a look. First thing he did was raise the hood, reach back close to the firewall and PULLED OUT THE DIPSTICK! The manual does not mention a dipstick, the sales people knew nothing of it, nor did my service advisor. Anyway, I was relieved... all I wish I had now was a water temp. gauge.

Replying to: bruceomega (Feb 13, 2008 11:05 am) I've posted a couple of questions on the AVS Forum, but most of the time I'm in lurk mode; I've been able to find the answers for most of my questions by using the Search function. |

Replying to: tayl0rd (Feb 13, 2008 12:26 pm) Yes tayl0rd... there is!!! It is on the right side close to the firewall. It has a black plastic cap that is flat... looks like some wiring that had been capped off. It does not have the normal "handle" dipsticks have. Just keep looking, you'll find it!

If I knew how to post a photo on this site I would show where the dipstick is. Why aren't the instructions printed somewhere?  ">link title
