Anyone rebuilt the 5 liter V-8?
Have any of you completed a full disassembly of the Jaguar 5 liter V-8?
My area of interest is the oil maintenance tube; the suction pipe for topside oil changes. Can you tell me if there are any mechanical or electronic parts inside this pipe, as well as its overall shape? I'm wondering if I can use this pipe as a rudimentary dip stick tube. Could I occasionally pass a flexible wire down this tube until it touches the bottom of the oil pan? I could mark the wire at the oil level immediately following an exactly correct oil change as "Full". More importantly, I could periodically check the color of the oil, something Jaguar is apparently unconcerned with.

I seem to remember someone having the same idea for a dipstick but it didn't work out for whatever reason.

The extraction tube is item #7.

There appears to be a "dipstick tube" available for the 2012 5.0L NA engine(?)
Item 17 on this parts illustration...

Some "dipstick" has incorrectly labelled it Engine Oil Dipstick Tube on the linked page.
Both the NA and SC AJ133 5.0 V8 have the exact same oil extraction tube.
