If you are not getting oil on your dipstick, there are basically two reasons for that. First the oil level in your car may not be high enough for a reading. The second reason is that you have the wrong dipstick. Make sure the dipstick is that right one for you engine make and model. Make sure it is going all of the way into the dip-stick sleeve also. Once you know you have the right dipstick, then you can fill to the the oil the proper level. Remember to check your oil on flat level ground with the engine off too.How can i fix my car oil dipstick it . i cant check my oil because the stick wont get oil on it. the stick is?
Go to a junkyard and see if they have some dipsticks you can get for a couple of bucks. Most of the time they yank the motors out to sell them as one unit and consequently, the dipsticks are in them :/ Only other option is to get another dipstick from the dealer but get prepared to pay like $40 bucks or something stupid just for a tiny part.
if it is the factory dip stick then you are probably low on oil. have a repair shop look at it.
