HELP! Hose stuck down dipstick tube!

Changing the oil and the tube is stuck now. I tried twisting, pulling draining all the oil and still nothing. She will go down farther but won't come out! WTF! HELP!

Remove the dipstick tube so you can get whatever the heck you're talking about that is stuck in the dipstick tube out of the dipstick tube, ya dipstick.

how do I remove the dipstick tube? I looked underneath and it just goes straight into the pan. I couldn't get to a few of the oil pan bolts so that's out of the question...

Is it dangerous for me to start it???

Are you changing tranny fluid or engine oil?

The Oil has A (as in 1) plug. you pull and the oil drains. For tranny fluid, you pull the whole pan.

No hose needed for either, you got some bad info or you're screwin with everyone. To pull dipstick tube, there is one bolt holding it in. Remove it then tug on dip stick tube to remove.

You will be in my prayers.

Engine Oil. I know, I bought this thing when I lived in a apartment with asphalt driveways so to save my back I purchased this. Where's the bolt? I swear to god I didn't see any bolt connected to the oil pan it just went in, I'll double check. Here is a pic

OK the F-150s design is similar to this^^^

1 screw/bolt in that "bracket" bolts into the engine block. then tug. There are O-rings on the bottom. It will pull out.

Any guess on how much is stuck in it?? Do you have any lubricant in a syringe or thin applicator (i.e. for guns and reels and what not)? I would heavily put it around it and then tug.

So you stuck a hose in the dipstick tube to suck out the oil, and now the hose that you stuck in the dipstick tube wont come out? And to think that you have a Roush Charged F150 and a Procharged Mustang
