How I check my Oil Level without a Dipstick.

Oil Sight glass location and putting an o-ring on the aluminum section with a cork gasket on the steel pan

[@For_the_love_of_mint]

Such an innovator!!! Keep pushing that envelope Patrick! 🤘🏼👌🏼👍🏼

This car deserves more views 👏

[@rockyloccgarage2040]

Thats badass, i was shocked when i seen u used two cork gaskets, it looks really good though, and having that sight picture is more reliable than a dipstick, you might just have to get on all fours to look at it or setuo the garage with a mirror and a light lol

[@alltrac101]

Can see how dirty the oil is also 🤣 the sight glass can be through the wheel just below the caliper. Yep. On your knees. Lol

Mr 👞 Awesome... as usual

[@DimZin]

How do you have so low back pressure?

[@tycougs4142]

Can you share what you used for the oil level window? Is it a air compressor window or what from?

[@awesometester55]

Super sick! I know you didn't show you rims on this video but I've been looking at your other videos and I was just wondering what your wheels are and their specs, thanks!

[@alltrac101]

They at OZ Alleggerita 17x8 +35

[@beans7199]

What about tire size?

[@alltrac101]

245/40-17 R888

[@ChrisDittrick]

Great ideas Pat! How did you get / make an o-ring for the custom groove? I love that, the fipg is such a pain to take off.

[@alltrac101]

Hey Chris.. with my trusty Dremel. Marked it with a sharpie then followed the line

[@ChrisDittrick]

@@alltrac101 well good job! But how did you get an o-ring to fit the groove? Did you have it custom made, or make yourself?

[@alltrac101]

Chris Dittrick it’s an off the shelf o-ring

[@rafaelcalderon6028]

So is that 2 different generations between the block and oil pan? Could that pan be put on a 2nd gen block?

[@alltrac101]

Yes. Bolts directly to a 2nd gen 3SGTE

[@rafaelcalderon6028]

Does it require the matching oil pump and housing for the pan or the 2nd Gen pump and housing can stay?

[@gman2321]

So you Have to get Under the car and sight the oil level? Do you check when it is Hot, or cold? :-)

[@alltrac101]

No, just look through the right front wheel. Both hot and cold.

[@gman2321]

@@alltrac101 Not too difficult ! It show, cold at the bottom of the eye, Hot when above ? :-)

[@alltrac101]

Gman no, same hot or cold. Just have to wait for the oil to drain back

[@gman2321]

@@alltrac101 As long as you do not have to stick your finger in the hole ? :-)

[@ABeans07]

Did you sell your stack gauge cluster?

[@alltrac101]

Yes.

[@DimZin]

What sensors are those on the exhaust manifold? Gas temp?

[@alltrac101]

Yep. EGT’s

[@DimZin]

@@alltrac101 Why is it important to know on each cylinder?

[@alltrac101]

Dim it’s good data to have, you can see which cyl is running hotter or cooler compared to the rest

[@fothks]

@@DimZin 3sgte and most 4cyl engines are prone to run hot at 3rd cylinder. On a hight performance engine you can tune more safely by knowing every cylinder's egt.

Great job! (Do you use Instagram?)
