Hello guys/gals - curious - what was the color of the little knob on the end of the handle of the early '68 L36 oil dipstick from the factory??? Thanks in advance

According to the TIM&JG it was white.

Hello again.

I recently found a engine dipstick (with a white knob) but I am not sure if it is correct for my '68 L36. No dimple on the handle. On the dipstick is ADD : : FULL ENGINE OIL M What are the measurements I should look for to make sure this is the correct stick for my application.


Thanks in advance.

"PERFECT". Thank-you, David. Much appreciated. I will measure mine now.


Sorry, David. I don't have a manual. Where do I get the measurements for "A" & "B"???

No worries - I found the measurements in another one of your posts.

Thanks again for your time.

Based on my research original 1965-1967 dipsticks were stamped "ENGINE OIL". Original dipsticks on 1969-1971 models were stamped "USE GM 6041-M-QUALITY MS OIL" . I'm not sure the stamping on 1968 dipsticks but I assume that it was "ENGINE OIL".
