Reaching The 2011 5.0 Dipstick To Check Oil

New to the forum here but have I read on other forums of some having trouble with the location of the Dipstick on the new 2011 5.0. I found that you can pull the dipstick out and check the oil no problem and put it back in no problem through the fender well on the drivers side. This can be done by gently pulling it just up and over the small U joint on the steering collum shaft and out the opening in the fender well. Then when putting it back in all you have to do is get the end of the dipstick back in the hole with your finger tips and it goes right back in easily, no problem. It's kinda of a odd way to pull the dipstick but it works just fine when your a shorter guy like me.

Take Care All
