Sentra

  • 70,000 miles
I own a 2002 Nissan Sentra and at a routine oil change I was informed that the plastic handle on my oil dipstick broke off and the dipstick is stuck down in the tube. The dealer wants $350 to remove it. I understand that this is a very common problem and that it could cause more serious problems.
