I was pulling the dipstick out and it got stuck. I turned it and pulled and the tip of the dipstick broke off in the engine. I drained the oil and took off the oil filter but no tip. What should I do?

Hi btrun,

You would not find the dipstick in the oil sump.

The dipstick should be stuck in the tube and to remove it, you need to remove the dipstick tube.
