Oil Dipsticks
When replacing your dipstick, the correct length and OEM number matter. Check the number your old dipstick replaces. Engine and transmission dipsticks differ in shape and markings.

Choosing the Right Oil Dipstick
What to look for in an oil dipstick
An oil dipstick seems simple, but the length and form determine whether you read the level correctly. Always check the OEM number on your old dipstick. That number guarantees the new dipstick fits your engine or transmission exactly.
Engine oil or transmission oil: the difference
An engine oil dipstick and a transmission oil dipstick differ in form and scale. Choosing the wrong type leads to inaccurate readings. Select the type that fits your vehicle. This prevents damage from too little or too much oil.
Where ordering goes wrong
Many dipsticks look alike but are not interchangeable. A few centimetres difference in length gives an incorrect level. The attachment point can also differ. Always check the OEM number and length before you order.
An oil dipstick belongs with a complete oil service. When you change the oil, a drain receiver and a filling aid are indispensable. If you undo the filter, use an oil filter wrench or cover.
