The oil dipstick has come loose from the "engine". It looks like screw or bolt came out and the stick rattles now. I contacted the dealer and several parts stores and they only suggested to "find" something that fits. ANy suggestions on the type and thread that I should be looking for? Thanks Billy

I don't have the exact size but I can almost guarantee it is metric and fine thread.
