Attacking Mid is on a distinguished road
I had to got to the u-pull lot this afternoon, so I pulled a dipstick tube from a 3.0 E53. I noticed this one had the cold climate CCV hoses, so I was really hopeful the dipstick might be the cold version, but no. Oh well, at least I've got one I can try to modify. Seems to me that drilling out the inner tube is the way to go, but it must be more complicated than that.

My recently acquired e53 definitely has mayo showing under the oil cap. It had a failed thermostat too, so I assume that was contributing to the mayo buildup.

AM.
