13BT oil dipstick

[torqueluvr]

Alright, as a disclaimer I'm not a complete idiot.

That being said, after I changed the air filter, oil filter (and oil) and fuel filter on my BJ74, I noticed that I can't find the dipstick for the oil. Again, I'm not an idiot, but its no where to be found! I found the auto tranny one, but not the oil dipstick. I've googled and searched for images to no avail. Please someone tell me where the oil dipstick is for this engine - maybe mine is missing?

To cover my buns, I added about 6-6.5L or new oil to my rig - those were the numbers I found on this forum. But I would love to be able to actually check the oil. Anyone?

It should be right between the #2 and #3 injectors, the tube snakes in-between the block and the intake manifold in case the actual dipstick is missing.

Here's where it should be, this is a pic of a 3B mind you, but the bits and pieces should be in the same place on the 13BT

Next is to try and find it in the dark after the engine has been running and not burn your fingers

Better yet is putting it back in the dark.
