Where to find an oil dipstick

Post by bonnevilleCyborg »

Hello Everyone,

My 1994 SE Bonneville needs a new oil dipstick as the head has broken off of the original one. Does anyone know where I can find one? I've tried looking online, but no luck.

About 8 years ago that happened to me so I went to the Buick/Pontiac dealer and bought a new one.

Your best bet would probably be to check your local pull a part to see if they have an h-body with a series 1.

I would also expect the C bodies to be the same as well.

W body may also be the same with L27.

Guess I would be in a position to compare my dipsticks...

I'm heading out to my local yard on Saturday and there are plenty of 3800's. If they don't over-charge, I'll send it your way.
