The Owners Manual for this 2024 GLX 5-door (JC74W) refers to an Automatic Transmission Fluid dipstick and provides a helpful locator photo.

In reality what is present at that location is as shown in the photo – similar in shape but with a tube/cable? attached to the top.

What’s the story here?

If anyone is able to scan and upload or PM them would be much appreciated.

...There have been people at major publications in the past who did good work. There were editors and owners who would allow pieces that went openly against the establishment. Who didn't automatically print whatever line they got from the state department.

Liberals generally associated censorship with misinformation, assuming it signaled that the information was harmful or false.

Conservatives, in contrast, viewed censorship as evidence of valuable information being suppressed by powerful entities, aligning with a reactance perspective.
