Why don't you call a dealer and ask? There are dealers on here that sell at discount.

speedy-8-ball 06-20-2009 03:13 PM

all i could find was a rotor top for the dipstick but not the dipstick itself on online mazda accessories stores..

CarAndDriver 06-20-2009 03:14 PM

You're not going to find that part easily online. Call Mazda dealer part departments directly.

Try Mazmart.com, they are also a vendor here.

speedy-8-ball 06-20-2009 03:16 PM

CarAndDriver 06-20-2009 03:18 PM

Look around the forum and site.

speedy-8-ball 06-20-2009 03:32 PM

Try Rosenthal Maza, aka finish line performance. They're a dealer and an on-line vendor here...and I remember seeing dipsticks on their site. They'd have the new, improved version.

try onlinemazdaparts.com

It's a dipstick, not a short block. Any minimal dealership mark-up you avoid by buying online is going to be negated by shipping cost (not to mention hassle). Just get in your car and buy it locally.

speedy-8-ball 06-20-2009 10:16 PM

tried finish line but dont wanna deal with registering. the problem isn't going to get one locally. the problem is is that i'm fixing my salvage car and i need to go get it pulled. it says it needs oil but i dont know how much cause theres no dipstick. mazda stealership doesnt have it in stock and will take till friday for them to recieve it.. and i know i can get another one shipped faster from another company. im not a dumb ass trying to save 4 dollars on a dipstick. i need one because i need one cause time is money.

speedy-8-ball 06-20-2009 10:20 PM

sorry bout the cranky post:sad:. been a loong day.. stupid strut was a pain in the ass putting in cause the car needs pulling.. :banghead:

ken-x8 06-20-2009 11:49 PM

To tide you over until your new stick arrives:

The "full" line is 11 3/4 inches from the top of the stick - the part that butts against the top of the tube.

The bottom line is a little more than 13 inches from the top.

You can just shove a piece of wire down the tube and measure things.

My wife wondered what I was doing in the garage after midnight. :)

But I have been stuck with odd problems more than enough times. Glad to help.
