Default Oil Dipstick
Has anyone replaced thier original oil dipstick with an aftermarket ? Reading the levels on an Audi dipstick is a PITA .

I changed mine. $7 bucks. Still hard to read. Lay paper towel and press dipstick on it. Then you can see level

I have found that it is A LOT easier to read after the car sits over night but still a crappy design ( to me anyway ).
