    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I cracked mine trying to put it back in. Checked a few parts fische but couldn't come up with anything. It's for a gs400 if that helps. Where can I buy one new? Or does anyone have a good used piece ? I'm not proud used is fine as long as it's not cracked like mine. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
 
On the four-cylinder models, the oil window is:

.LENS, OIL LEVEL CHECK
11971-45010

Depending on where you get parts, it's about $8-$9.

It's quite likely that this will also fit your GS400 -- many 4 cylinder models also leave this off the fiches.

Can you measure the outside diameter of your window to confirm it's the same?
 
For the part number I posted earlier, the oil window measures 25mm. This includes the rubber ring around the glass. When you order a new oil level window, it comes assembled with the little "cage" on the back and the rubber sealing ring.

Basically, it installs just like an oil seal, except you obviously will want to press it in, not pound it in. I padded a large vise, then pressed it in with a socket.

The later GS500 engines use a dipstick. Must have been cheaper...
