You could try the places that sell Mazda parts online. How much are they?

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

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

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.

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.

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 *** trying to save 4 dollars on a dipstick. i need one because i need one cause time is money.

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.
