Favor needed: Plastic tip dipstick measurement for a broken dipstick repair.

[II Kings 9:20]

Help and thanks for any replies.

My 2015 3.8 red plastic dipstick tip is AWOL and I need a measurement of the red plastic tip in mm.

I also need to know how far from the bottom tip the low and full mark is.

This would be greatly appreciated. It is an order only item at the dealer, otherwise I would run over there and measure it myself.

Rather than buy another failure prone unit, I am going to cut and weld the metal tip of the correct length from a generic dipstick at Autozone or elsewhere. This will be a cheap and permanent fix.

Thanks .

From the O-ring on the yellow plastic handle... length to tip is 29-3/16". Oil fill lines are 27-3/4" - 28-1/2". Couldn't find a tape with millimeters.

Thanks so much @arcman SAE is just as good as mm. There are countries who use the metric system and countries who put a man on the moon.
