Dipstick measurement please.

[Eaglefreek]

I'm not having any luck in the classifieds getting a replacement dipstick. Does someone have the time to measure their dipstick from where it touches the top of the tube to the full line, so I can use a coat hanger or something until I find a new dipstick. My car uses oil and I desperately need to check the level. Pleeeeease.

Thanks, in the process of trying to get one from him. However, it still may be a week before I get it and have already been 4 weeks since I lost my dipstick. A measurement would really help me out so I don't run out of oil or overfill it.

16 inches from the top of the tube

Thank you!

16 inches is the actual length but 14 inches down is full and 14 and 7/8's (roughly) is low.

Thanks, I received it today. I was surprised after it being missing for several weeks and adding oil on occasion, that the level was right between add and full.

awesome! glad you got it and hopefully nothing is abnormal (leaking) or otherwise. Did my marks help any?

Like a match made in heaven.
