zrex Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Can anyone measure their oil dipstick please. I lost my dipstick stick for my 85 4x4. I’m using a dipstick from a 88 D21, I can feel when the dipstick reaches the bottom of the pan and starts to bend so I have a reference point where to cut the dipstick. Just want to verify the correct length as accurate as possible .. thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 I would cut that stick down till it stops bottoming out and then do an oil and filter change. Put in the correct amount and mark the stick where it's filled to. Perhaps center punch it so the oil clings to it. No chance of a mistake then. 3 Quote Link to comment
zrex Posted June 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Thanks mike, that’s the plan 4.5 quarters with filter. Cut and center punch the stick maybe break out the dremel and make a crosshatch below the center punch. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Use your dremel to score a line at the full mark and another at the low mark. Quote Link to comment
