Yup, lovely looking and all that.
But does it do the job any better than the original.
Not easy to clean, so all that shinyness will disappear.
Not that you can see it when it's fitted anyway. lOl

You don't need a dipstick, you can see the oil level. Like Maz sez, the tank gets hot and then dumps it heat to the environment :yup:
