My oil dipstick broke off. Can you tell me the easiest way to retrieve the stick to replace with new

I would definitely try to easy a magnetic extendable pen or this is a pic of a silver flexible tool retriever on my creeper just to have a dark background, you push the right hand side and these little fingers extend and spread out on the left side, when you release the button the fingers will retract and grab that dipstick to pull it out.
If these two ideas do not work or the tools are not available, then usually you will need to remove the oil pan from the bottom of the engine. you will see where the dip stick tube is bolted on if you need to remove the tube.. But while the oil pan is off the broken dip stick will be sitting there and you can pull it through the bottom, replace the oil pan gasket with a new one and those bolts are usually set to a specific torque setting. Please follow up in the comments with more vehicle information, or if you are successful I'd like to hear back from you Good Luck!!!

Hey... IT HAPPENS!

Write down your vin number...and scamper on down to the
DIP-STICK store (your dealer) and order a NEW ONE...

That's all there is to it...

(( but... just in case: keep the old parts )).

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

Shouldn't be to hard. Find where the sleeve is connected to the side of the engine. Usually one bolt. Remove the bolt. Remove dipstick sleeve from your engine. Then you can use a wire hanger from the other end to push it up. Or down which ever is easiest..

If the oil is drained, and refilled to the manufacturers recommended capacity, get any dipstick that will fit and register the oil, then make a mark on that stick at the oil level. D.I.Y. replacement. Not having a dipstick does not stop you from changing the oil, contaminated oil will do more damage, than a little to much oil.

my nissan sentra 1.8 2004 engine oil dip stick tube broke i took out some part but remaining part still in engine block so how cav i took this out.
thanks

yes you can still change oil with oil drained remove dip tube extract dip stick replace tube Then repair/replace dip stick, fill as per normal

look on dip stick you should see cross hatched area with add oil or oil full mark.if you wipe oil dip stick with a clean paper towel and dip stick look dry no sign of oil add little oil at a time see if oil level reach add oil mark or the full mark.if oil is low. low oil light will turn on if bulb is blowed but if dip stick look dry oil level could be low,add little bit at a time dont over fill.

Hi:
Depending where the dipstick broke off, you possibly can unbolt the dipstick tube from the engine, and hopefully the remnant of the dipstick is sticking out part way. If not , then you have no choice but to loosen your entire oil pan on the bottom of the engine.

Replace the dipstick probably at a scrap yard,they needthe year and engine size. The broken off tip will usually come out with your next oil change.Hope this helps.
