Review on ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ Dorman 917-396 Engine Oil Dipstick: Efficient Oil Level Measurement for Optimal Engine Performance by Jojo Howell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well, slightly stiffer than original OEM

The dipstick was the right size and had a yellow handle. The only thing I noticed is that when it's fitted and you drive the car a bit and then pull the dipstick, you'll find that the metal dipstick is bent, so no elasticity like the original factory dipstick. . So after you've taken it off and put it back in to check the oil, it feels a little tight when you pull it out and retract it. Otherwise it works great.

Pros
  • Clear markings on stem promise easy oil level reading
Cons
  • Slightly cracked
