Definitely take it to Holden and as above, point to where the dipstick is and then get that person to look at the oil dipstick

Twist and pull bro.

Nothing will happen

I think I read on ss forum that someone's dipstick snapped off.

A few of us replaced the dipstick with the new cable version, much better.

Where did you get the new cable version?

Haha, not sure how many passed over the humour but you certainly got a chuckle out of me!

Yeah, I noticed. But, I'm still not sure if it was intended or not? Bit funny either way.
