Replacement Dipstick

Anyone find a good replacement for the OEM lipstick? Reading the oil level is a PITA on this thing.

Yeah, it sucks. Gotta use a paper towel or something to get the level.

Chasing J's sells a Ti one, but you're gonna pay the tax (and I'm not willing to do that, so I can't advise on whether it's easier to read or not).

I have the Chasing Js Ti dipstick now on my DE5. I had one on my previous FK7 too. The Chasing Js is definitely easier to read. Works just like how you would expect with a typical/normal dipstick. Metal dipstick with 2 dots like everyone is used to, level is easily read.

These new Honda orange plastic dipsticks being used are terrible for checking oil level.

Does the 10th gen SI they offer work for an Integra 1.5L?

Yes, they should be the same. If you have the PRL TIP for the 1.5t you'll need to select the slim handle.

I've searched for an option prior and didn't find anything. Anyone know of a less pricey option than the Ti dipstick?

I was thinking of removing the orange plastic piece at the end of the dipstick, looks to me that the metal part of the dipstick with the holes remains beneath it.

Would be the most cost effective solution for sure!
