I realize that it might be...

Happy Father’s Day all you Dads out there!

@dikidera,

2004 V70R, 185,000 miles, M66 I have an issue. The dipstick has started to pop out occasionally, usually after a long drive in hot weather. I did the glove test and the glove didn’t inflate or get sucked in, it just fluttered. I had a good look at the dipstick and the O-rings are hard and flat, and ...
