Yes, it runs out of one of the A/C vents. I had to cut a hole in the firewall, took a bit because I used a punch/hacksaw.

well to each his own. It reads low when the engine is running because the oil is sloshing around all up inside the engine vs. all drained down in the sump.

I would call that OCD. but to Quote Stocker "well to each his own"



I check mine about once a month when i check all the fluids. I also check it when i mess with anything in the engine bay. That turns about to be just about once a night. Maybe i need to keep my head from under the hood.
