Review on πŸ” Dorman 917-315 Engine Oil Dipstick for Enhanced Performance in Compatible Mini Models by Dave Hess

Revainrating 1 out of 5

[update] Total JUNK; Stainless steel! Sellers had to publish information about the materials!

Upgrade [Second Attempt] We apologize to other users who have tried this faulty product based on my 5 star rating. Mine broke after the first use too. I don't drive much so the oil change interval is quite long (6 months). I didn't break it, but it just dissolved; I took a picture of the broken part; The rest is still in my Mini; This is the worst product I have ever purchased from Revain.com. The Car Part Kings seller is not responding to my email inquiries regarding damage caused by this defective item. ----- -----This is what I want. I almost bought the $74.95 dipstick because I couldn't find a permanent alternative to the OEM dipstick. The OEM dipstick is made out of some type of fiberglass. Since the Amazon sellers didn't mention any details about this Dorman dipstick, I had to go to their website. The Dorman website states that the shaft of this probe is made of stainless steel! since i couldn't believe it at first (you know all the other replacement parts for that oem probe made of fiberglass or some kind of bamboo stick (which i bought on ebay and trying to fall apart i had to). Contact Dorman to confirm that "the rod is made of stainless steel" "Yes, that's awesome. Seller! They should explain "that the rod is made of stainless steel" so we don't have to wander around."
