dipstick . im posting for my friend JP who just bought a evo 8 w/ a 2.3 stroker and a 35R on it for 14k btw (sounds like a time bomb if you ask me ) and when he bought it there wasnt a dipstick on it . so right now we are putting a quick fix universal one in for today b/c its spitting out alot of oil until he gets one in a couple days. my question is we need to cut this one to fit so i need to know the size of it. thanks!

my dipstick size would make you blush.....

- On that note order an oem one, I believe it should be P# MD343884

 

oooo stop it you hehe

yeah but for now we need something to stick in there and to measure it b/c theres no way of telling right now lol

 

Is there a reason it doesnt have a dipstick?

 

^It probably blew out like I have heard is an issue with some beasts of that caliber. Tell him to also buy a retaining spring which keeps it stuck in there. I pretty sure Buschur sells them on their website.

 

idk haha idk man. the whole car is shady. still havent seen it yet actually. he called me up and told me to ask around and i called all the evo owners in my phonebook w/ no luck so i figured id ask here

 

yeah he is . but we need a quick fix for today so he can drive the car

 

Ok give me like 10 mins and i will go downstairs and measure it to the best of my ability.
Ill be back

 

thanks you so much!

 

Ok from where the dipstip fully seats to the max fill line is 20in and to the min fill line is 20.5in Hope this helps

 

thank you so much man heel2toe FTMFW!!!

 

is the min line the tip of the dipstick? if not need to know how much farther down it is from the min line lol. sorry man

 

haha no the min mark is a notch in the dipstick. About another .5in down is the bottom of the dipstick however it twists so that may be a little complicated. I can go snap a photo of it if you really need me to

 

na man you dont need too. thanks for all your help. ill tell my friend.

 

No problem. It helped me out too because it gave me a reason to check my oil level and i needed to add a little bit haha so we both benefited. Im a little bummed though because this was the first time my car has consumed oil...oh well seems to be a common thing but i just thought I had a special evo
