Hi Guys,

I realised last week that i do not have the factory dip stick on my CA18DET.

Will someone please measure it for me?

The lenght from the rubber seal,to the tip,furthest away.

The lenght from the rubber seal to the minimum mark.

Need to mark mine properly!

Thanks

Karis

Please stick this somewhere, this would be useful for people making replacement dip sticks due to the fact that ca dipsticks are very hard to read :P

I'l be customizing my own from an rx7 dipstick. You can read that one really easy!
