Oil Dipstick popping out - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

zeropointzero · 06-26-2011, 11:56 AM

has anyone else noticed their oil dipstick is getting pushed out just past the O-ring on the dipstick? almost every time i check my oil i noticed the dipstick is not fully inserted. i have wiped the O-rings dry but it doesn't seem to help. the S2000's are known for this same problem.

anybody got any ideas on way to fix this? crank case vent or something? i admit i drive the car aggressive with lots of redline shifts.

Check your crankcase vent hose for bends. My sentra used to do this all the time when I would beat the crap out of it and someone told me it was the crankcase pressure not being able to vent into the intake.

No all normal 6MT, slow driver.
