Besides, you should check your oil when the engine's cold, anyway.

my aluminum adjustment knobs on my ASTs get hot and those are located even farther than the dip stick lol besides, aluminum is a great conductor of heat, hence why it's commonly used as heatsinks.

yeah normally. but what if you wanted to check it after you've driven? like say oil light came on for no reason after you've already driven quite a way. i wonder if it's freezing, would it be freezing cold too? lol seriously though, i'm actually curious. since metal shift knobs act in a similar fashion

If that's the case Hieu, that's what a "rag" is used for. You can still easily check your oil after driving using a rag if the dipstick handle is too hot to handle....it's no big deal :) Then you use another rag to wipe the business end and then recheck the level... simple as that. It's not a big deal if you ask me...:)

i like how you guys answer my questions with solutions to issues, but not my actual question lol yes i know you can do that, i'm not stupid. i know it's not really an issue. am i wording the question wrong?

it's like i ask you how do your tires feel? then you tell me you bought roadside warranty, you're covered...


anyhow moving on. so when are you planning to install that UUC SSK? or did you do that already?

you should get the RE oil filter cap for your M3. I think it will go will with your dip stick if you don't already have it. i tried going back a few pages to look at your engine bay but i didn't see it.

Dude.... no you're not stupid. I didn't imply this so I hope you realize I'm just responding to your question.....perhaps you had worded it incorrectly???

Regarding the billet aluminum dipstick, yes it will be hot (and I know you know that) after driving and it's not a big deal to use a glove or rag if you have to pull it to check your oil level (again, I know you know this)....it's no big deal...:scratchinghead

I plan to have the SSK installed sometime this winter. I have lots of other mods lined up right now so this is not a priority for me at the moment. I will have this installed by next season however....

it's cool, no worries. probably my fault lol

anyways, on the oil filter cap. you just send rogue an email. i believe that site will always say out of stock. but if you send Rogue engineering an email, they can make it happen for you.

I emailed them to ask about S54 versions of the dip stick.
