The top of my oil dipstick broke and now I am unable to pull out it to see how much oil I have. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can retrieve the dipstick?
Thanks

It broke at the end piece which is plastic. I will still give this idea a try.

i drilled a small hole in the top of the dipstick, then took some needle-nose pliers and pulled it out.
