L26 dipstick. URGENT

[Jz260]

Hey guys, somehow I have misplaced my engine dipstick and it has sprayed a decent amount of oil out the side so far.

Just really hoping someone has a spare in Brisbane or somewhere between Brisbane and noosa that I could come collect before Sunday ( in another car )

Thanks in advance,

James

Are there any wreckers around that have L engined cars available?

Just checked the shed but sorry don't have one. Just wrap a piece of cloth around a bit of wire ensuring that neither can fall in the sump and that should get you out of trouble untill you can get the new stick.

Interesting topic for me too, I just went through my spares and I have three that are all different lengths, one L24 and two L28. I have just fitted a baffled sump with a capacity of 8quarts and after putting in 7.6L I only just saw it on the bottom of the longer L28 dip stick. Why different lengths? The high/low marks differed by as more than 500ml

Is there a difference in the length of the Dipstick tube between L24, L26 & L28 ? just a guess.

I recall from my Toyota days the K series motors had different tube lengths over the years

 

Cheers

Different part numbers. Might want to write your dipstick details down fellow L Series owners.

Yeah L24 was shortest, L28's were both differnt also. L28/F54 block was longer than L28/N42, but L24 was longer than both.

 

Yep all differnet part no's Mark, I thought they be the same depending on 24/26/28? I didn't right them down though.

 

Sorry for the hijack James, I can't help with lengths.
