Stuck Engine Oil Dipstick!

Greetings all.

Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything in the search function.

My dipstick for my engine oil is stuck in and I am unable to remove it. It is able to be moved (twisting it) but I have almost broken my fingers trying to get it out! Ive soaked it in WD-40 and also tried putting oil around the seal to lube it up to no avail.

All I can thing of next is to either heat the tube up or have the hole thing removed and replaced?

Anyone else had this happen?

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve
Not very impressed with the whole Dip Stick.
Terrible to read oil level accurately and O ring only seals part the way down the tube/pull ring.
This is probably the reason yours is stuck, I am thinking that there had been some muck find its way down the tube past the pull ring and has been sitting on top of your Dip stick O ring.
Cheers
Troy
