Here is the color of mine. Don't mind the oil level, that is when my turbo decided to die.

Just wondering, Is everyone's dipstick at the end a purple or blueish hue? I hope thats the case and its not getting extremely hot or something. The thing runs great and oil looks fine. |

The thing runs great and oil looks fine. Mine looks like that too. No worries. If it got hot enough to turn that dipstick end blue while running, I doubt your engine would still run... In fact, it'd likely be melted to a blob. |

Same color here, absolutely no varnish or deposits on dipstick. I've assumed the blue tint is how it came from factory |

i figured as much but just wanted to make sure. Yeah hahah it would have to get extremely hot to get that color... i think youre right everything else around it would be a pile of melted aluminum and iron. |

Mine is shiny bright steel. Buffed and polished so I can see my 6 liter calibration mark more easily. It has not changed back to the blued finish. |

Mine looks exactly like the pic 65Corvair posted. Always has and I never really thought about that as odd before. |
