Question on chrome oil dipstick... I found a chrome oil dipstick on a site but it says for Corvette LS1. I have an 02 WS6 and was wondering if it should still work since it's an LS1, or would the oil level be different due to some odd difference between the 2 cars?? Thanks!
hmmm i believe the oil pan on an f body is a little deeper, the vette one is wider. So the reading would probably be a little off. What you could do it put in the correct amount of oil, and make your own markings in the dip stick.

Hmm...so if the f-body one is deeper, then if I use a Vette dipstick, would it read slightly higher??
Or is it possible to just change or swap the yellow top off of mine for the chrome one, which is basically all I'm wanting to do anyway??

yea I think swapping them would be the best bet, not sure how they are attached on. You could also just paint it black so it blends in better and doesn't stand out.

So is it possible to just take the chrome part off the Corvette one and put onto mine? Does it just pop off or does anyone know?
Oh, and I would order the one for the 2000-2004 Corvette, right?
