Intellistick

Saw a little blurb in the diesel power mag a while ago, interesting idea. For those of you who have a hard time reading the dipstick and for those who like to get samples frequently, might be worth a shot?
No idea the cost of it, I havent even got a chance to check out website yet.

If you could trust it to correctly monitor the condition of your oil then it could pay for itself in extended oil changes but to prove this I suppose there will need to be extended testing to prove out the sensor.

somehow I have trouble with this. I need to pull the stick and look it over myself.

So if you could use this an an added feature, in additional to your dipstick then I think it would be a worthwhile investment.

How about swapping to a traditional style dipstick. I've never gotten a clear oil or transmission level reading on this truck or the 6.0 I traded. I know it's not over filled, but EVERY time I pull it out, it has no clear line demarking the oil level. I like the metal blade design, muuuuuch easier to get a good reading. Is their a way to swap in an aftermarket one, or one long enough that you could use the stocker on to measure and scribe on the new one the corresponding oil level marks?
