I have a 99 35th, and the dip stick is twisted, and it sucks. I was wondering if all the newer mustangs have this crappy dip stick. My 96 had a normal one.
Has anyone changed to a different dip stick and which one?

Some one should make a replacement part I bet everyone who works on their own car would buy one! I'd be first in line!
