All good info outside of the metal oil temp dipstick. They all will break off in time and drop down into the pan. Not catastrophic, just a waste of $ IMO, that and every time you look at the gauge it will be max temp in the Summer months. Spoken from a long time user, long ago.Definitely drop the oil pan, my 2003 California SS, same 1064cc, has a mesh filter also that should be cleaned and you will see how much gunk has collected. I’m using Maxima racing oil, 10/60, magnetic drain plug. Motul gear oil has a lot of additives that were recommended to me. Consider an aftermarket dipstick with oil temp gauge, it’s metal instead of plastic and the gauge is high quality. Bad memory, not sure who carried it.
