I just got my car yesterday! I am very excited about owning this car. I've been doing a lot of research on this car but after i got my car, i came up with some questions. First, where is the freaking dipstick?? I was looking for a engine oil dipstick in gas station to check my oil level but I couldn't find the damn thing.. another question, where should I check to see coolant level? I tried to find coolant tank but couldn't find it. It has aluminum AST I wonder if I should open it to check the coolant level? Oh and should AST be full?I was surprised that the engine room is so damn tight. It's going to be fun when I start working on it
Wish me luck with my car

 

Oil dipstick:
Stand over the drivers side wheel, and look under the plastic throttle elbow. It's a thin wire handle painted in yellow.

The coolant overflow tank is behind the passenger side headlight. Check the level there, and in the coolant filler neck above the belts.

Yes, it's a tight engine bay. The stock accessories really fill things up - many modified engines remove/disable/block off some of these things.

Take a look at the picture I attached (is a right hand drive car).

FD has 3 coolant filling point. Uncap the AST and the center filling point. Fill up the center filling point till the AST is full (while filling up, you will see the water level in AST raise). Then cap the AST and continue to fill the center filling point till it is full. Do fill up the 3rd filling point if you want....

*perform it when the engine is not HOT!!!!!

 

Thanks guys. I'm going to my car right now to check.
