Question stuck oil dipstick

The oil change guys broke the dipstick head off then put the oil dipstick in the dipstick tube now it is jammed in. How do I get it out? How long do I have until I have a problem? 2000 Nissan Sentra GXE 4 cyl.

I'd go back to where you got your oil changed and make them deal with it.

yeah, why are you worrying about it when they're the ones that broke it?

Raise hell at the oil change place. It's their responsibility.

go to Nissan. If your dealer is smart, they'll just give you one on warranty because they know those suckers are breaking left and right.

go tell your wife to take it to the place and have them fix it and stop bugging you. LOL.

Dont listen to everyone lol they just like to bitch alot.
This has happened to me and a few otrher folks. This will work.
Just go to a gas station with one of those big ass industrial size vacuum cleaners and put it over the dipstick housing and it will suck it right out. If its having trouble, try to get a better seal around the housing with tape or something to get a better sucking action (Chimmike know about this part lol j/k.
The older guys like Chimmike have seen this problem a few times. they shouldve told you this from the start.
You can also remove the dipstick housing from the block. Its fairly easy and just pops right on and off with a bit of force. I dont not recommend doing this unless its your last resort. Speacially if you still have the stock exhaust manifol. You can see everything better with a header. Goodluck!
