Screwdrivers

Well if Mr Moose is going to get his tool porn out again, I might as well join in

Don't think you can go wrong with any of the good brands, but I do really like the PB Swiss with the Swissgrip handles.
Far too nice to use day to day for rough work, but they fit fasteners exceptionally well.

Their bits are also excellent.

Wera are great general purpose screwdrivers, used and abused the lasertip and chisel drivers at work, they hold up well - I recently got a set of chiseldrivers to keep at home too.

I also like their Wera Kraftform precision screwdrivers - Wiha make some excellent ones too.

Their Kraftform Kompakt VDE set is a really handy kit if you need to grab something for electrical work, but you don't really know what you are going to end up needing.

The Wiha SlimFix are also excellent VDE screwdrivers albeit obviously more fragile.
The Wiha Microfinish ones are nice heavy duty striking cap screwdrivers, but seriously weighty. I don't really use them much because of this.

Sad to say but after all that, I mainly just use the impact driver - much easier on the hands for most tasks.

I thought I had a problem …. Thanks. I feel better today

It is a dipstick tube, they just don't give you an actual dipstick to go in it.

My car has the same, with just a plug in the top. Then there's a dealer service tool, which is a dipstick with an adjustable scale. And you need to know where to set the scale, and what the reading should be.

Absolute bulls**t idea.

On the V70 the tube isn't there at all just the hole at the top of the sump that the tube fits in.

In the early days of the electronic oil levels on the V70 they had to do a software update because the level was reading incorrectly.

I still have a sticker in my toolbox from when i was at Volvo, if you filled some up to the max on the dipstick it'd trip a warning on the dash.

Here’s a selection of my Felo screwdrivers for anybody not familiar:

I’d better get them off the coffee table before the missus clocks them!
