Hey,

When i bought my car, the top of the dipstick was broke off, so in order to check my oil i had to use needle nose pliers. I bought another one at Summit Racing but it would pop up and squirt oil, so i put my stock one back in that had the top broken.

Well the problem is that it got pushed down too far for the needle nose pliers to reach by accident. So i was wondering what you would recommend? Is it possible or easy to remove the dipstick holding and remove it that way or what?

Thanks!

unbolt the dipstick tube and take it out. then push the dipstick through from the bottom.
 
so you want to know chryslers tsb on dipsticks breaking on the intrepids. because they always break on them. when the handle breaks off take a wood screw and drive it in to what is left and pull it out
