Anybody have issues reading the oil dipstick on the CX5's?
My issue is I pull the dipstick out, wipe it down with a paper towel, re-insert the dipstick and pull to read. The dipstick has oil ALL over it, basically from top to bottom.
Almost as if the sleeve the dipstick slides into is coated in oil, therefore making it very difficult for me to get a reading on it at all.
We got the orange oil light a few days ago indicating the oil is around/below the MIN level. I poured 200ML of oil into the car to top it up but now I cannot get an accurate reading on this thing.
I have tried checking the oil while the engine is 10 hours cold, tried driving and warming it up then checking, same results.
Not the end of the world as I will change the oil in about 2000 KM but I would love to be able to get a reading of the oil........ Another issue I am having is I use an oil extractor to change the oil on my other cars but I cannot get a drop of oil to come out of the CX5. Has anybody had success using an extractor on their cx5? Almost as if my straw is too short?
