Our 850R was bought used with all service records printed out (was religiously maintained). One owner, traded in at same dealer that sold it, and that we bought it from, has 85,000 miles now, we've had for about 5 months (since a teen totalled our Buick), Very nice car, very happy with but...the dipstick and tube are very rusty and crudded up all the way up to the top. The oil on the dipstick is clean, no sign of moisture on the dipstick or on the filler cap. I've messed with tons of cars, but have never encountered this-especially on such a clean car! This is a South Texas car, so no road salt/rust issues here (eat your hearts out, northeasterners).

Hey! I was in Front Drive forum, but somehow got switched back into RWD (we also have a 240). Sorry for the footprint in the wrong place.
