oil dip stick ?

ok i have a turbonetics turbo kit on my car with a AAM oil pan spacer and of course i don't get an acurate oil reading. do they make a longer dip stick for this application or what is the best route to go?

Take your current dispstick and bend it straight. Insert and then bend which ever way you can pull it out easiest.

why wouldnt u get an accurate reading?

your oil level still needs to be in the exact same height on the dipstick regardless of the pan spacer.
