That would be the maximum dipstick length (probably around 28").<br /><br />I would think that almost any (pan mounted) dipstick would work. It just needs to be long enough to reach into the oil but not too long that it hits the bottom of the pan. You can always trim some length off a dipstick so it doesn't bottom out.<br /><br />In any case, don't trust the add/full markings. Double check those or add new ones to the dipstick. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
