Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I changed my oil on my 2001 nissan sentra and when i removed the oil dipstick, the plastic handle broke off leaving a piece of the plastic handle and the dipstick lodged inside of the metal tube. i have searched other sites and have found that many other motorists have had the same problem. it costs a lot of money for a repair shop to remove the dipstick. i believe that there is a defect in using a plastic handle on an oil dipstick.
