My dipstick socket keeps coming out with the dipstick on this and the 19. If I clean both parts can I use silicone to hold piece to block? Also data says the 170's G226 oil capacity is 6 quarts. Either I have the wrong stick or data's incorrect. What do y'all add with oil and filter change, like 7 to 8 quarts?

I have same problem with socket and stick on my 175, when i change oil im going to apply some permanent lock tite. After i place the socket i will then put punch points around the socket to increase side tension. just my $0.02

I swear mine is closer to 7 quarts to get it to the full mark than 6. Next time I'll actually try to pay attention. :>)
