    You do whatever you want with it. I officially declare it open source

    I just made a copy onto a transparency (for overhead projectors), they are flexable and oil will wipe right off. I had not gotten around to making one from the measured drawing here in the site yet.
    Thanks for your efforts!!
    Yes, Transparency sheets would work great. I would recommend a laser printer over an inkjet printer for a transparency sheet, as most inkjet inks will wipe right off after getting wet with oil.

        Dipsticks

        Perfect for lazy bastards like myself or those who don't have time to cut out something more permanent. If you really want to live on the edge, print in on a vinyl sheet or just laminate it before trimming, then you can wipe it off and use it over again.

        Make sure that your page scaling is 100% or that "Fit to Page" is not checked in your Print Settings.

        Thanks a ton for the PDF file of dipsticks for the middle and final drive fluid levels... worked like a charm, got a couple sheets printed off, and saved it on the Hard drive as well... never had the stock one, but these are just as good for me... thanks again!
