Oil dipstick tube rusted out completely with even low miles, so beware and check rust formation on this part. The tube is bolted right to the manifold and it gets hot and paint melts off leaving it exposed to rust. To change the $40 tube out, the manifold has to come off the engine and of course you go to be putting manifold gasket and possibly a new manifold also (which i did replace btw)
