Dipstick broke

Welcome to the forum.
It helps if you state year and engine . The dipstick vary.
Then I can ponder how the heck u broke it. Lol
I hope your engine pan leaks a little to give you a reason to drop the pan to change the gasket and while you are there push your broken dip stick up to remove it.

I have a few and they are very valuable to me for many service related and hobby related projects.
You can see that a 5lb sledge hammer and stainless steel safety wire using the large forceps can hold the hammer with no problems in 2 different directions.

But I think physic's occurs when you start to restrict the suction of a set vacuum as the orifice gets smaller. The set volume and the air pressure diminishes. At least with a mechanic created vacuum?
I think doing what you describe only makes for a vacuum cleaner or shop vacuum that can get into small hard to get places to clean, so to say?

If there is still some yellow plastic on the end of the submerged dipstick......heat up a small diameter metal wire......better make it a foot long or so, to keep from heating up your fingertips! When it is good and hot, press it into the plastic and cool it quickly with some compressed air through the blowgun......after it dries, you may be able to pull the dipstick out with the wire.
