Hello Fellow Nissan Lovers
My dipstick has broken off into the sump. I need to buy another one. Anyone have one to sell? Or maybe give me the measurements (from rubber piece at top to bottom) so that I can source one from a scrap yard?
Your help is much appreciated!
Mike

Phoned Nissan Cape Town. R290 for a new one. Think I will settle for that. Does anyone know if I can leave the broken tip in the sump? It should have a filter before the oil gets to the oil pump? I was thinking of taking the sump off in 9000KM from now. Just recently changed the oil so I don't want to do it now
