unibrook Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 fluid dipstick? I can't find it anywhere near where the owner's manual says it should be. Thx for any guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferret Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 passenger side near firewall, down low....maybe blocked by some wires in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb21 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It's on the passenger side, underneath the airbox. Definitely not the easiest thing to get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I always have to trace it down and move a big wire loom on my 99 Forester. You have to hold the loom out of the way and pull the stick on my car. Since I only do it once a year or so it has not been worth moving the loom.

nickb21 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 There is a thread on scoobymods as well... but you don't need to login to see these pics: http://www.northursalia.com/modifications/drivetrain/tfluid/tfluid.html Don't need to remove all that stuff to check the level or change the fluid. But it does make changing it easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unibrook Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 thx Nickb! those pics are what I needed. Wow, that dipstick must really be buried, cuz I was probing all around last night with a flashlight and still couldn't find it. But with the pics showing its location, I hope to have better luck.
