2011 pushing the dipstick out

jcom · 11-13-2020, 05:32 PM

My 2011 is pushing the dipstick out when I use it at full throttle for a mile or so. Going back and forth to golf course. Oil making a huge mess of course.

I thought there should be a vent of some kind on the crankcase but dealer says no.

What say all the gurus here about where to look for the solution.?

Check compression to make sure your rings aren't passing lots of cylinder compression into your oil passages. Other than that, is the rubber seal on the dipstick worn & loose, is the engine significantly "turned up"?

Thanks. Will check.

Dipstick is in snug. Cart runs good.

Compression test normal.

I always thought that there were breathers/vent on engines, gearboxes, etc..
Is there no breather on these engines?

Thanks for the assist as I/dealer try to solve this problem.

Closed system for emissions control. Crankcase vent works into / through the air cleaner housing. Have to have at least a certain amount of vacuum vs pressure in the crankcase to run the fuel pump. You might check the beater tube off of the valve cover. If it's plugged up that might put more pressure at the dipstick opening than it's intended for.
