Whipple oil fill ?
Do you fill the oil the same place the dipstick is ? Checked my oil and it wasn't reading on stick....only took a smidgen of oil to get it to read ... hope it was ok.....i used the dipstick hole to fill. Where do you drain the oil from the charger ... a plug underneath somewhere ? Thanks

Re: Whipple oil fill ?
Yes you fill it through the dipstick hole. DO NOT over fill. On the opposite end you'll find a drain plug similar to the fill plug.

Re: Whipple oil fill ?
What year is your truck? Mine has an oil fill hole separate from the dipstick.

Re: Whipple oil fill ?
Yeah on the 98. I'll take a picture tomorrow in the daylight and post it up. Its on the right off the block, and has a big cap with the oil symbol on it.

Re: Whipple oil fill ?
Mine doesn't have a dipstick.
It has two fill holes on top and one drain/level hole/plug on the side at the bottom.

If that's the case...how come we're like 19 hrs ahead of you guys? Hey...bet you didn't realize you're talking to the future  Actually....mine came from a guy in AZ. That's the first time I've seen one of the 'dipsticks'. I just remove the lower plug in mine and fill until it's about to come out that hole.

I saw that coming. I think mine is one of the last kits built for the OBS L31. That may be why it has a dipstick.Quote:

Re: Whipple oil fill ?
Mine looks exactly the same as your dipstick model whipple....how often do you add oil to yours ? Mine wasnt reading on the stick.....but it didnt take much at all to get it to read again on the stick....not much at all....so there was probrably still quite a bit in there.

Re: Whipple oil fill ?
After I fill it I never have to add oil. Just when I change it.

No they don't burn oil. How many miles on that oil?

Re: Whipple oil fill ?
The only place it can go is leak through a seal or plug. You'd be able to see it. I would put all new oil in it for piece of mind if nothing else.
