Description of πŸ›’οΈ Dorman 917-430 Engine Oil Dipstick: Accurate and Reliable Measurement for Optimal Oil Levels

Clear marks on the rod promise easy-to-read oil levels. O-ring seals the top of the dipstick, prohibiting contaminants from escaping into the engine oil bay. Application-specific direct replacement for proper fit. Brightly-colored handle makes the dipstick easy to locate under the hood. Original Equipment (OE) Number: 12577660.

Fits perfectly. - Motor parts

This was an exact replacement for my 2008 Malibu Classic. I measured the old one before and it was perfect. The loop handle broke off the old one.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Tight fit on probes and hoses

Product as described. My only major issue was that it was firmer than OEM. Everything was great when first installed, easy to get in, easy to get out, everything was great. But a week later when checking the oil I had to pull hard to get it to flow out. But after putting it back everything was fine until the engine warmed up again. All in all it was a good aftermarket product.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Huge Disappointment

Fitment was G6 2009. I'm usually very confident when I buy a Dorman product but this dipstick was a big disappointment. The type of metal used in manufacture did not match that of the OEM. Part of the problem is that the shape of the pin is crooked in this application, but due to the strength of the steel used, I couldn't even insert it all the way. I pulled it out and was able to bend it 1/2 with one hand! So I threw it away and just put the old one back in.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • silent
