    Deebo is right, alternate could be to pressurize the crankcase after sealing off vents.

    Frigging Chryslers. Just had the same issue with the wife's van. I drilled a small hole and stated a sheet rock screw into it then pulled the broken dipstick out. Seems to be a rash of this lately, another couple we know had the same thing happen to their van 2 days after ours went. Cheap shit plastic seems to be the issue.

    As a side note, buy a factory original dipstick as the one I ordered on line was about 3/4" longer than the factory one. Stuck it in there for now but need to get a new factory one.

    Yep it was a Dodge. I got it out with a screw. Gonna order a new one but it'll work like that for now.
