Consumer Description

THE PLASTIC PORTION OF MY OIL DIPSTICK BROKE OFF ON MY 2001 NISSAN SENTRA GXE. THIS CAUSED THE DIPSTICK TO FALL INTO THE ENGINE. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW DIPSTICK. THE NEW DIPSTICK IS ALSO PLASTIC AND I ANTICIPATE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT DOES NOT TAKE A GENIUS TO REALIZE THAT YOU SHOULD NOT USE PLASTIC ON AN ENGINE PART!!! *TR
