    Dipstick!

    Silly Sunday evening question. My K11 has a yellow dipstick. I've seen others with red ones. I'm sure it's not engine size, and fairly sure it's not model year, so does anyone know which cars got which colour and why?

I read through the Haynes before I started and it just says "locate the hub carrier on the lower arm ball joint". Does that not mean put it on loosely? I can't believe out needs to be pressed...
