This TSB has been updated by TSB # 090384A, dated 4/30/84.

The engine oil fill for 1984 2.2L turbocharged engines has been increased from 4 quarts to 5 quarts. The additional quart of oil provides increased lubrication capacity desirable for high performance operation.

The dipstick tube length was increased 11 mm in production to accommodate the additional quart of oil. The new dipstick tube can be identified by its silvery color. A tube extension package was developed for engines already in the field built prior to January, 1984.

The mechanical dipstick service package consists of the following:

CAUTION: INSTALL THE EXTENSION PACKAGE ONLY ON CARS EQUIPPED WITH A GREY DIPSTICK TUBE.

Electronic Dipstick PN 4342759
