You only need a dipstick long enough to read "full" Not me  I want to know when to add oil, not only when it is full  The first thing that comes to mind reading these last 2 posts is how they no longer have transmission dip sticks.

My conclusion is Milodon dipsticks suck. I received the longer one and it's impossible to get a read on oil level. Their dipsticks are just too small. This engine is very low miles and very clean so the oil is light colored and I have to run my finger down the dipstick to even tell there is oil on it and it's so tough to see when it starts. I gave up. Just for heck of it I pulled dipstick out of 5.7 Charger and to my surprise it fit down Milodon tube and all the way down to the plastic eye finger pull which is about an inch from sinking all the way in. I pulled it and can very clearly see the oil level on that flat and wide stick! So I'll just use that stick to check oil. It comes to the "H" in "CHECK WITH........"
Engine is all sealed up and I am glad I can actually check oil even though I change it yearly and that's usually only about 500 miles max.
