Oil Dip Stick

Hi All ,
Went for my first oil change at the ford dealer , seem's they put a used oil dip stick back in the engine ?? If someone with a 04 5.4 can measure from top to tip and post for me would help me to go back and bitch about it.

Thanks for the help !

Speaking of Dip Sticks.... Has anyone noticed we have two piece dip sticks?? What up with that?? Rivots?? They couldn't find enough steel that long to make them one piece.. Probably tripled the cost to make them...

Wrong Size

Hi 79Rex ,
Ok was wrong size , only got 27" and also i do remember from Dunk's post reply that there was rivits on the stick when it was new ?? Means i have to much oil in the engine because it reads full , cute on there part i never did nothing to them { THE DEALER } . Will go back with the specks that 79Rek gave me and let them do it over with me standing there this time .

Thanks Men !
