Sorry, I'd assumed you had the later box which is a PITA to do an oil change on since the airbox has to be moved before you can even see the filler plug!

dipstick tube is very narrow I would guess at around 8-10mm or so without the actual info to hand

I ended up filing down the end of my nozzle to a finer point and even then I have to sort of hold it in place to stop spillage. next time I'll have to work out something better but it does work
