I just broke mine yesterday. Any clue where to look for one of these?
Thanks,

The dip stick itself broke? Hopefully the broken piece is not left in the tube to the oil pan..

I have always feared breaking mine, kind of flimsy to begin with if you ask me and my pant leg always gets caught on it when I'm standing in the engine compartment.

You may have to make one up, perhaps out of a donor generic dip stick from an auto parts store. I can share dimensions if needed.

This may have officially inspired me to make a spare for myself.

This comment made this A25 owner chuckle. It took me three months to find the dipstick on our boat.

Hahaha, Understood! But honestly, look how it protrudes right toward the only place to put a foot!

I get it though, at least there is a place to put a foot...
