850 Dip Stick - believe this

Post by Jano526 »

This is hard to believe - a friend was working on my 93 850 and when he finished, the oil dip stick was gone. Crazy! Anyway, I have another one that fits the top well but what I need from some 850 do-good is to measure their dip stick from the top inside to the bottom and then from the bottom to the full mark. I just don't feel good about it right now - feels too much of a guessing game. I would be forever grateful for the help.

I've got a 93. I can measure when my wife gets back with it if you are unsure of 93 - 96 dipstick difference. ;)
