Oil Dipstick question
On the w124 diesel om603 1987 300d i just purchased the oil dipstick is broken off at the top loop,i visited my local pull a yard and only saw red and or green ones, i mean the plastic handle and loop on top.
On my car i have a black one, i measured mine against both red and green and they were all different lengths, they were close but not quite exact. Anyone??

Were you pulling dipsticks out of the OM603s? I find it hard to believe there was a myriad of 603s at a pull a part.

This may be off base, but I was recently told that on Sprinters (made by MB) that one color (red - I think) was to check the oil when the engine was warm. The other color was for checking oil in cold engines. Don't know this for a fact, but might be worth checking out.
