Question 1

How to replace the Dipstick Tube and oil level indicator on GMC Savana 1500?

Accepted Answer

Begin the replacement process by removing the air cleaner assembly together with the retaining bolt for the coolant recovery reservoir before placing the reservoir to the side. After accessing the oil level indicator from its tube proceed to take out the oil level indicator tube bolt which will allow you to remove the tube from the lower point. Examine the o-ring seal to check if it has any damage or cuts; this seal might be usable if it remains intact. To proceed with the oil fill tube work you should first take off the o-ring seal from the tube before uninstalling the lower oil fill tube bolt from the engine block. To install the o-ring seal you must first apply engine oil and put it on the lower oil level indicator tube after which the tube needs placement behind the Exhaust Manifold. Determine a secure position for the vehicle while you install the lower oil level indicator tube inside the block at the correct height before lowering the vehicle. Seal the oil level indicator tube by screwing in the bolt and torquing it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Secure the upper oil level indicator tube with the lower oil fill tube before placing it into the retaining bracket and tightening its bolt to 10 nm torque. Finish by repositioning the coolant recovery reservoir before installing its retaining bolt followed by the air cleaner assembly reinstallation.

Question 2

How to Service and Repair the Engine Oil Dipstick Tube on GMC Savana 1500?

Accepted Answer

A technician should start the process of engine oil dip stick and dip stick tube service and repair by removing both the engine cover alongside the bolt securing the coolant recovery reservoir. After removal, place the reservoir to the side. Detach the oil level indicator while removing its attaching screw and transmission fluid fill tube which holds it at the oil fill tube lower support. Take the tool to detach the upper segment of the oil level indicator tube from its base section and remove any residue of previous sealer from the tube. Remove the oil level indicator tube bolt while extracting the tube from the engine with a twisting motion and clean both surfaces of the indicator and block from previous sealant residue. Begin installation by using gm p/n 12346004 or equivalent sealant which should be applied 13 mm (0.5 inch) beneath the tube bead before inserting the oil level indicator tube into the engine block through proper rotation. The upper oil level indicator tube needs sealer gm p/n 12346004 or equivalent around its fitting point with the lower half before upper and lower halves get connected together. The bolt for connecting the oil level indicator tube and transmission fluid fill tube to the oil fill tube lower support should be tightened to 5 nm (44 inch lbs.). Continue with the installation of the oil level indicator then put back the engine cover and place the coolant recovery reservoir in position before fastening it down with its bolt.
