Default Dipstick pops up

Everytime I check my oil...every other gas stop or so ( I check it later that day, after the oil settles)

The dip stick is poped up...I click it back and next time it is popped up again...

I have seen two other s2k's with this, anyone else notice it?

Yes! I have the exact same problem.

I am going to take mine in so I can get a new one under warranty. Maybe the o-rings are a tad bit too small.

Just make sure you wipe the oil off the o rings each time you check the oil, it helps. The stick can't pop out completely; the hood insulation prevents this.

Mine used to ... doesn't anymore ... I don't know if it's the miles or the colder weather ...

Have fun,

When I was younger my dipstick would pop up all the time. I would hate it when it would do it in public. So embarrassing. Now that I'm older I seem to have better control over my dipstick.

Prolene used to have this problem with the dipstick. I'm not sure what he did to resolve it. I think he just made sure to seal it tightly and wipe off any oil that was on the seals.
