Whats going on here

[Welderjeff]

I'm trying to change the oil in my 02 Pitbull and can't find the dipstick I've done some research and from what I understand it doesn't have one? Does anyone know if that's right? If so how the hell am I supposed to check the oil?

The dipstick (if there is one) is on the cap to your oil reservoir. Unlike your car, oil is held in the reservoir, not the crankcase.

Evolution Oil Scavenger is a useful tool which allows you to change all your oil (including the small amount in your crankcase).

Simple solution Dave. Put a pic of tits and ass on cap and you will find it. Lmao. Sorry couldn’t resist

This is the only dipstick Ive seen and its really a temp gauge. Its on my 04 Pitbull. Dont know if they are still available?

Any ideas on how I would be able to keep an eye on the oil level? I'm going to stick my endoscope down inside the Reservoir and see if there might be any markings

Once you change n refill, make a mental note of the level. Put a 2x4 under the kickstand to hold the bike level as you check the oil level. Scavenger will only pull out a small amount of oil. They work well and imo worth the $60.

Thank you I might have to invest in one

Just a side note; you don't want to remove the plug out of the bottom of your crankcase. Many have done so and stripped the threads resulting in a BIG problem.

Well worth the cost! Your crack case actually holds about 20ozs of dirty oil. This gets every bit out of the engine

When I first changed the oil on my Vintage Sport I recognized the same problem. I changed the oil & when I added the 3qts to the bag. I took a chopstick (wife is Japanese) and stuck it in to the bottom. It’s wooden so the oil gave me the needed level but I put a mark on it with a marker also. I use it to check the oil before every ride.
