I've fixed this same issue 3 times. Just stop putting oil in the vehicle. Sooner or later all of that nasty dirty stuff will be gone and the dipstick will be clean. I'm just not sure why my cars often quit running shortly after the dipstick has cleaned up.Herself wants to know how to keep the dipstick clean.
She said every time time she pulls it out it's covered in oil, and she has to wipe it clean before she can use it.
Yes, and another way is to cut the bottom 6 inches off it, have you noticed the top never gets dirty?I've fixed this same issue 3 times. Just stop putting oil in the vehicle.
