I will second that, I would reccoment a kick *** flashlight and taking the hood off to get right down in there to find it. They are a bitch to get back in there tight. I usually end up grinding the lip on the stick and use some RTV around it for leaks. Broke one of a 2003 F-150, that was a BIOTCH

I baught the Castrol oil in the 5.5 quart thing but it comes in a big container like a gallon container and I thought it was a 5 quart container and I poured the whole thing in by mistake.
