Oil Dip Stick Broken
and I purchased a new one fron a local Toyota dealership. Problem is, the new one is about 1 1/2 inch shorter than the original. I am not sure if the original is OEM or not as I bought the car used. Does anyone have a measurement of how long one should be?

n/a dipstick is shorter than the one for cars with turbo.

I'm pretty sure they are... I'll compare the dipstick from my 89 Cressida with my 88 N/A Supra and see how they match up a little later today and post back

Think with your Dipstick Jimmy!! Back on topic, I think Driftmotion sells a nice one that bolts better than the stock one.
