Broken dipstick
I took my wife's 97 Explorer V6 into Jiffy Lube and the kid broke the dipstick off!
I've taken the dipstick tube off and it's not in there . It must be sitting in the bottom of the oil pan.It's about a 2-3 " long piece.
I've tried using a magnet to fish it out the drain hole.No luck so far.
It looks like the engine has to come out to get this piece out ?
Can it cause any damage ?
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Trust me Jiffy lube is going to pay.

If i were you just take it to ford, let them fix it, and tell jiffery lube when the vehical is ready they are paying....minds well make them pay for there mistakes.....Had a similer problem happen to me at pep boys the kid cracked one of my spark plugs, i knew i should of done it myself of took it to my mechanic, but for some reason went there, anyways they denied it and i even brought them the plug the refuned all my money and had my mechanic inflate the price of the diog. of the problem and they paid that too!!!!
