Volvo changed the design on the stick and the tube slightly because they kept wiggling out. If you try to buy a new dipstick you probably have to buy and install the new tube that goes with it. So - be careful with those old ones if you don't want to have to change them out, folks. If you can fix it with an O-ring that is a lot easier.
