Having trouble finding your dipstick tube to get the stick back in? I painted the end of my tube with white paint, which makes it easy to find in the dark area it is located in.

all honestly you could paint the tube, per say, but the handle a glow in the dark color or really bright, say neon green. I have seen that done and works quite well. ( not my taste, but an idea)

I was referring to the tube with the dipstick NOT in it, when you go to put it back. My Yukon is a Hybrid, and the dipstick is low, and nestled deep down between the bottom of valve cover and the side of the hybrid controller, so it is very hard to see the tube when the dipstick is pulled to check the oil. Not such a big deal with the ones I see in the pictures above.
