dohc v6 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 What would cause the dipstick to smoke. If i check it after I just got home I can see a light haze in the dipstick tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Cool outside air mixing with hot engine air. Hell... I see it if I pull my oil fill cap off after my engine was warmed up. I've never thought anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88red4cyl Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Cool outside air mixing with hot engine air. Hell... I see it if I pull my oil fill cap off after my engine was warmed up. I've never thought anything about it. I've always seen it out of the oilcap after the engine has been running and you take it off.. Never looked that closely at the dipstick though..
