Broken oil dipstick handle – Toyota, Lexus

Replace a broken oil dipstick handle on Toyota or Lexus

I don’t get what’s so hard about designing a dipstick that lasts the life of the car, but lots of car owners have run into a situation where the dipstick handle broke off. This happens enough that dormanproducts has started making replacement dipsticks so you don’t have to go to the dealer and pay high prices.

Dorman 917-395 Oil Filter Dipstick

Re-engineered to address common failure points in the original design. Dorman’s Engine Oil Dipstick is differentiated by its long-lasting handle. Constructed of tough plastic, the handle won’t break or separate from the rod. Now you can perform your essential routine oil checks and changes with ease.

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
