The car has a dipstick which has a spiral through most of its length. Cannot check oil. Familiar with proper use of dipstick. I think that the spiral is wiping oil from the inside of the dipstick tube and the oil is running down into the reading area when I pull the dipstick out. Repeated dipping doesn"t seem to help.
A lot of cars have these sticks. It’s best to dip first ting in the morning before the engine is started the oil would have settled by then. Otherwise when it’s hot leave it for an hour then dip it.

Had the same problem last year - the plastic handle broke off and the
top of the remaining plastic was visible down the tube but was stuck
solid. Finally used an easy-out to get it out. Drilled a small hole
into the plastic and then threaded a thin easy-out bit into the hole
and it held enough for me to pull the dipstick out. Stupid design, a
plastic handle on a metal dipstick!
Here in Canada the Intrepid is badged as a Chrysler. Sounds a bit dodgey to me :-)

if the end that is on the bottom of the new tubing is smooth then the old one should twist out with a bit of force no particular direction to pull off though just twisting

ther should be a brace welded to the tube it should bolt to the back of the engine, maybe the weld broke off the tube. if i can be of any further help just get back to me. please rate my fix as i strive for the best Thanks Ray

What engine is in your A4. Normaly if the oil is in between the hash marks on the dip stick thats good, If above or below hash marks this is bad. To properly check oil level start vehicle up let it run for 30 sec. Shut vehicle off and let it sit for aprrox 2min then check the level.
