Replacement Dipstick

[Xcfool]

It was fairly easy to remove the plastic by first starting cuts all around with a fresh blade and then crack pieces off with pliers. Too bad the underlying holes in the metal don't correspond with high/low marks but I marked them with a sharpie and then scored them with the blade. I also slightly rounded and dulled the metal tip to try to limit it scratching engine internals. It seems a little easier to read the oil level on fluid with about 2k miles of use.

How did you mark with the sharpie? Was it easy to tell where the marks were on the plastic and transfer over?

To clarify I had broken half the plastic off length wise before marking the hi/low spots with the sharpie.
