Hey Gang we are up in Pismo Beach camping. Just checked my oil level and I noticed the long dipstick is scorched aout half way down. A slight amount of burnt hydrocarbons attached. I wiped it with a paper towel ut the burnt area is very noticeable. I am thinking this is a design flaw and the stick runs too close to the exhaust manifold. Any thoughts?? Thanks and happy camping this weekend!!!! 8)
 
It's really common, it does indeed happen in the area which the dipstick tube passes close by the exhaust manifold.
