okay call me stupid but i can't find the dipstick and i didn't check the oil before i bought it..but thats okay because it had the little oil change sticker on window and hadnt been that long ago when it got changed...

but i want to check it and cant find the stupid dipstick!! 91 4runner v6

 

:pat:

I know where you can find a dipstick. Walk inside. Go to the bathroom and look over your sink. There should be a mirror there to show you right where one is.

Try tracing up from the oil pan, oh wait, if he can't find the dipstick, do you think there is a chance he knows what an oil pan even is? See first suggestion!

Welcome to the board noob! Good luck finding the dipstick...on your engine that is!



Never seen a 91 V6 but my guess would be look for the little dipstick handle. If it doesn't have a dipstick, you bought the WRONG vehicle my friend...

 

It's on the drivers side, about the middle, oh hell let me find a picture. Ok, it is in this picture, http://community.webshots.com/photo/...92263572fKwNmW It has a yellow handle and is between the distibutor and the air intake piping.

 

thanks ill look tomorrow when there is acutally light outside...

and i figured id get a smart ass comment for asking....
but im used to the lil ole 258 in the cj....all the extra efi and what not gadgets just make engine bays more crowded :-P
although it wasn't that bad in the 7mgte either...but that was another straight 6...maybe its just these damn v engines

and mrgoat, where in oklahoma do ya live? im down in good ole norman...home of those damn sooners

 

lol welcome to the boards _hale_. correct me if i am wrong dale but i think he is on the line between norman and edmond. somethin' like that. me? i am from tulsa. gl findin that dipstick.

 

The line between OKC and Edmond. I haven't been to Norman since the Bedlam football game last year and I had to listen to 70,000 sooners chant OSU sucks. We get you in Stillwater this year and there will be Hell to pay!

 

im a texas fan so its okay...i couldn't care less how many games OU loses...:-X

 

That's better. Did you find that dip stick yet?

 

Just behind the distributor. Yellow one is oil. Red? one is auto trans.

 

yeah easily found in the daylight when i could acutally tell the difference between everything in that damn crowded engine bay
