I have a broken plastic metal oil dipstick and I would like to find an all metal oil dipstick for my vehicle listed above that will not cost an arm and leg.

Good afternoon,

They do not make a metal one, only the original. It is not made of plastic, it is carbon-based alloy tube.

The top part of the dipstick is definitely made of plastic not an alloy. I am referring to the stick itself not the tube.

Dorman makes a replacement dipstick. The top is still plastic, not metal and the stick is metal.
