Works as described: Spare parts

Works as described. Read the instructions. Before you begin: Get a cold and warm reading. So you can fill in cold water right after changing the filter and refill after warming up. Maybe some people think about it too much! My 2011 Jeep Liberty Jet 2wd was 45mm cold and 50mm hot. It's a bit difficult to know when to stop when inserting the wand. Walk slowly and you will feel that he has pressed stop. After removing the palette, you'll see the actual stop it should hit. The drain plug was moreโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Everything is fine

This dipstick TOOL works great. Beware of people who wrote bad reviews, you don't know how to use this probe tool. The GAUGE TOOL is only used to check the liquid level! Not designed to remain in the dipstick tube. You also don't really need this TOOL unless you're servicing your transmission. If there is no leak, it should be full. Gear oil is not like engine oil, it does not burn. Maintain your transmission according to the service intervals and you should be fine. Also happy that they make a

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Zero

You will need this tool if your vehicle does not come with an oil dipstick. Remember that there is no mark to tell you whether your transmission fluid is within reach or not. It has depth markings that tell you the depth of the fluid in the transmission sump. You need to know what gear you have and then you need to look at the chart to determine how deep your gear should be. You will be told to measure the temperature of the transmission oil. As an approximation you can drive your car for a bit

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • I will add later

Fit for specific purposes

It was very difficult to get to the bottom of this, I had to cut off the measuring part of the liquid of this dipstick. With metal node parts, it did not go beyond a certain point. There is a great review here that mentions this issue. My only goal was to see the color of my transmission fluid as I recently noticed a distinct burning smell while driving hard. The dealer wanted to charge me $50 plus tax just to test the liquid. I immediately bought this one instead. My liquid was naturallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • May I add something else

The right tool for the job when you know how

I'm a Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge builder and I'll say it's as good as the milling tool that Chrysler sells dealer delivers. Despite all the reviews saying the length was wrong, these people have no idea what they are talking about. This applies to Chrysler vehicles that do not have a dipstick, just a cap on the dipstick tube that says "dealer only". You will need a scan tool to measure the transmission oil temperature and a service information chart specific to that vehicle that shows what the maximum

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Too dumb

Maybe better than spares

This is a great gauge for most NAG1 gearboxes. There's a downside, though: the metal tip doesn't easily fit onto the bottom of the gear pan, depending on what gearing you have. If you have a Chrysler 722.6/NAG1/W5A580 built with a white conductive plate (Dorman 917-678, 1402701261, 52108308AC, 68021352AA) this probe will work fine. The hole in the conductive plate is large and easily passes through a fairly large metal spike. If you have a Mercedes Benz Build 722.6 (W5J400 etc) that uses aโ€ฆ
