mcfly94 169 Posted February 4, 2014 Hey james had both on my xf with the c4, both very good quality and look neat! I ended up with the lokar dipstick because it wouldn't fit dads, c4 deep pan and 4 into 1 pacemaker setup. He uses the lokar kickdown though on his c4. Do not know about FMX fitment, should be the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gregaust 316 Posted February 4, 2014 Those dipsticks can be a pain to fill and read the level near on impossible if it uses the grey plastic dipstick. There are some newer ones that were a metal stick looked ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcfly94 169 Posted February 4, 2014 agree with this, biggest flaw on the item, you can tell the level, but its crap compared to standard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hendrixhc 10,918 Posted February 5, 2014 Sounds like their gear is alright then. Might has to invest. Might mean a matching engine dipstick coming up to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
