DIY Install an oil dipstick in your 6 cylinder VS30 Diesel Sprinter
Your mercedes sprinter most likely did not come with an oil dipstick installed. The oil dips stick tube is there but it has a plug in it leaving you with no way to check your oil manually. Here is a quick video showing you how to put one in. Super easy and well worth the money for the part.

Thanks for putting that out there for people that may be interested in buying one from them, it is hard to give an exact price when it makes a difference where you live for shipping and how much tax your state may charge when you purchase something online
How long is the dipstick from shoulder to tip? Here in Canada, 100$+... Any dipstick would work, but it has to be the right length...

From the tip to the hub that hits the dipstick tube is 25 inches, hope that helps you!

Yes the oring is just below the hub flange that seals the top of the dip stick
Do you check it with the engine hot or cold?

I check the oil when the motor is warm but like 20 min after its been shut down, i feel that gives me the best reading, buts lots of opinions on warm, hot, cold etc. cold will give you the most accurate but i think warm is a more realistic for checking on a regular basis
Hells bells M selling dipsticks for 30 bucks , What a rip off ?

You would think it would come with one!
This is useless unless you state WHICH ENGINE. There are two diesels offered, a 4 cylinder and. 6 cylinder. Which one???
