Dipstick tube o-ring without draining oil?

[40TUDE]

Wondering if I can get away with changing the o-ring without draining the oil?
Thanks

Yes. Just clean area really well so no grim falls in the pan.

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation!

Did you indeed replace it without draining oil?

I just did my CV joints and wound up chasing what I initially thought was a pan leak, but it's actually the dipstick penetration...likely the o-ring.

Any advice on the o-ring job? I imagine it is just a friction fit with the right o-ring? Anyone have a part number for the o-ring?

I did—nothing to drain. You'll see when you get to the top of it, easy job. Definitely clean the area first, though.

Thanks. And double thanks for the part number.

Wish I would have noticed this before I put the axle back in...
