Cheap?
I paid $24 for a gray one at the dealership.
Guess that was my fault - seems to be one of those items not covered by the extended warranty? hmm

aresixx, with the engine warm, pull out the dipsick and clean it off. Leave it out for 20-30 minutes to let the oil drain out of the dipstick tube. Then try to take another reading.

You can also check it in the morning before you start it, it will give you a very clear reading, before I changed to the gray one it is the only way my old eyes could see the black on black.
