Hello everybody, I'm new to the forum, I searched before but found nothing on the subject.
I am Brazilian, I live in Florianópolis, SC

I bought a 1995 Nissan Maxima was stopped for some time, I'm putting him to run again, and the same does not have the dipstick.
I wonder if anyone knows the size of the original rod, and the distances of marking levels. Since I do not find this piece to buy in Brazil, I have to make one.

If someone who has the same model, and are willing to make this measurement, would be very grateful!!

sorry for my bad english.

 

There is no dealerships or junk yards around?

 

Can you find a wrecked car in a salvage yard? The dipstick is the same for 1995 through 2002.

edit:
The dipstick is the same for the 1995 through 2001, not 2002. It is the 3.0 liter engine. the 3.5 is different.

 

Just wondering, but why would it be different for 04-08?

 

If I had a spare I would send it to you for the price of shipping. Maybe someone else here could hook you up.

It is approximately 3/16" wide, 15-5/16" at the high mark, and 15-3/4" at the low mark. Sorry, I do not have a metric ruler long enough. I trust your public schools are better than ours, and you will have no problem.

 

They are not the same between the VQ30 and the VQ35. The VQ35 dipstick's markings are a little further from the end of the dipstick than the VQ30.

 

 

another 95, woot!!!! pics

 

I thought the 3.0 was last made in 99, in 2000 I thought that's when they switched to the 3.5??

 

^ no

 

No. The first models of the 5th generation had a VQ30, but during the mid model facelift, the car received a VQ35

2000-2001 >> VQ30

2002-2003 >> VQ35
