Consumer Description

I CHANGED MY OIL ON MY 2001 NISSAN SENTRA AND WHEN I REMOVED THE OIL DIPSTICK, THE PLASTIC HANDLE BROKE OFF LEAVING A PIECE OF THE PLASTIC HANDLE AND THE DIPSTICK LODGED INSIDE OF THE METAL TUBE. I HAVE SEARCHED OTHER SITES AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER MOTORISTS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY FOR A REPAIR SHOP TO REMOVE THE DIPSTICK. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN USING A PLASTIC HANDLE ON AN OIL DIPSTICK.
