oil window

[scottw419]

does anyone have any tips for looking in the oil window on the bottom of the engine. I've cleaned mine and can still barely see anything.

good lighting and a flashlight. Some times its just dirty too.

When you check it make sure its been sitting for awhile after you've been driving it, also if you haven't changed the oil in awhile it will be harder to see cause its dark.

let it sit for at least half hour i have the most luck in a dark area with flashlite. i actualy turn the lights off in my shop and use the flashlight to check the level. sounds corney but it works for ME

I drained my oil then filled it up with the 5 minute flush that you use on cars. I let sit for a day then drain it out. It cleaned the inside of the glass real nice. I let it sit for half a day to let it Ll drip out before I filled with oil.

Huh, good tip Demon. They do get cloudy from crap sometimes. I cleaned the window real well last time I had the cover off, but that sounds like a good method if you have the patience for it.

That's only if it's real bad. If it's not real bad then you can just fill it up with the flush and drain it. Flush the cleaner out will some oil then fill.
