Dipstick brittle how much for a new one ?
« on: September 29, 2013, 10:00:22 pm »
Just checking my oil the other day and the little cone shape towards the top of the dipstick is brittle.

It just crumbled in my fingers,  the o ring seems fine above it.

But i may as well get a new dipstick , any idea how much a new one costs ?

Shame there isnt one for the diesel, the plastic end is black and makes reading the oil level a pain
