In the auto parts store or in the tool section in a hardware store there is a long metal spring looking tool that has metal fingers that extend out when pushing down on the button and grab and retract when button is released
the tool is about 24 inches long most times it has a red T handle. if that will fit down the dip stick oil tube it should garb and hold the dip stick enough to remove it. next time when attaching an object back to the handle if it is metal clean / dry and try some JB weld pull test for rigidness and good contact.

SOURCE: dipstick tube came out and i cant find the hole to put it back in

Some times the tubes rot off. Make sure you look where the tube pulled off the block there's a small hole on the side of the block the tube goes into. If it rotted off you will have to replace it just make sure you get the other piece out of the hole.

SOURCE: Please I have been waiting for instructions on how

Hello! Screw a screw into the broken part in the block...Just to give a grip to pull out the broken part...The new tube (has an O ring) and is merely pressed into place...This is a common fault...The tubes are fragile and break easily...Guru.....Saailer

01 Lincoln nativagator oil tube dipstick broke off an don't know where to find the other part that's still on the engine an what I need to get it replaced an how soon?

The part that broke off might be long enough to still be in the tube and you can get it out by removing the tube out of the block should be just pressed in and can be pulled out, check to see if it has a bolt holding it. If the part that broke off is short and fell into the oil pan don't worry about it just put in a new dipstick

My dipstick tube broke off of my 2007 GMC Sierra. I pulled it all the way out since it was leaking large amounts of oil. Now, I want to reinstall the dipstick tube , but since I made no note of where it...

wondering what became of this problem, i just experienced this same thing todaywent to check oil and noticed the dipstick was sitting in a different spot, went to move it over and it was quite loose, so pulled up and the stick and housing came with it

Where do i put transmission fluid in my 1995 toyota camry?

If it is a auto trans. The dipstick tube is right up front with a little red finger loop piece. Push back the metal tab and pull out to check. Wipe the gauge of and put it back in and then out to check. Your vehicle must be on flat ground and running to check.

When the dipstick was removed, the top of the tube to the engine broke off. How to repair please? Thank you

Plastic dip stick funnels are always snapping off.

Remove what you can see down to metal tube. With small hook on end of stiff wire, pull out inner plastic sleeve from tube.

If it won't come out...push it down so new funnel can be installed.

It can't hurt as the tube ends one eighth of an inch from the oil pan floor.

FYI. You need to cover top of new dip stick funnel with cloth and push home until you hear it click onto tube.

How can I remove a lodged oil dip stick? Top part of grip has broken off. Someone tried to remove it but lodged it in further down.

Needle nose plyers.
If those wont reach in far enough - you might have to remove the dipstick tube..

Oil dip stick broke off about 1 inch in shaft

You have to remove the oil dipstick tube.  Most are just pushed into the engine block with a o ring seal.  With some effort you should be able to pull it directly out.  Have you tried a bent coat hanger with a barbed end?
The procedure is easy the acessability may be the hard part.
