Not same as original
Staff Reviewer -
Was not same length as the original dipstick. And was not as flexible to go down pipe. It will work but not quite right.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
I don't like the design, but it works.

I ordered online using promo code P20 and saved 20%. Picked up in store a few minutes later;
It replaced the engine oil dipstick on my 1997 Suzuki Sidekick Sport 1.8l; It seems to work properly however it does not fit like the oem design, Your best bet is to keep your old dipstick and adjust this new one to the proper length to insure you get accurate readings when you do check your oil. However the handle sticks up and contacts the hood when I close it, so I had to wrap a washcloth around and tape it to dampen the vibration. I'll be replacing this dipstick when I find the proper one I need at a junk yard but I am not worried about losing oil, or the functional operation of this dipstick, I just personally do not like that it fits differently where it makes the seal in the engine block.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
