its possible that it could've gotten a little twisted/bound up if it wasnt put in correctly the last time.other than that I cant think of any reason why it wouldnt come back out. But if you still cant get it out...I'd pop by the dealer and have them take a quick look... you dont want to yank on it and have it break off half way down the tube.

yea i thought that was weird also im saying to myself this should come right out...

the last time i had the oil changed it was done at the dealer cause i had something else replaced and i twas cold out and couldnt do it myself no garaged and it needed to be done so a few months later or 3000 miles i just wanted to check up on it see how dirty it was and i couldnt get it out i thought maybe there was a lock or a special way to get it out..it shouldnt be that hard...

Ill try it again..if i cant get it ill stop at the dealer or something or have my mechanic check it out

wierd things happen either someone jammed it in there and sure wasnt me to cold to change the oil it why i had them do it...could taking it to jiffery lube but they do what they want to much fooling around..


i gotta change my gear oil also to that redlive stuff i heard that was the best as far as shifting not to get off subject
