Zephyr L4-140 2.3L SOHC (1983)
Figure 4
A new center vent dipstick (Figure 4) has been released to prevent spillage. It includes one additional baffle, a deep set O-ring, and a 3/16 inch lower
fluid level. For high performance vehicles with a 5.0L H.O. or a 2.3L EFI turbo, a separate rubber baffle is added to the dipstick.
Before installing a new dipstick/cap assembly, make certain that spillage was not caused by an overfill condition.
1.
Check return line at the pump for looseness and tighten clamp as necessary.
2.
Check fluid level with new dipstick and adjust fluid level between "add" and "cold full" with fluid at room temperature.
