    Hey Smash. I am in Arvada. You don't necessarily have to make a dipstick out of plastic. You can make a set out of coat hanger bent like doorknob keys. You just have to etch the low and high marks and inbetween to see the oil. Of course you could invest in the real McCoy for about $6.00.

      The REALLY cheap route (like what Smash used) is to print them on paper and make single-use ones. They are available on this site somewhere, and it's one of the things I host on my site (linked below).
