What is the workaround Engine oil dipstick 2004 Solara 4 cyl 2.4.
What is your question?
Toyota no longer makes the Engine oil dipstick for the 2004 Solara 4 cyl 2.4.
Purchased two Dorman dipsticks from Oriellys and it does not fit correctly 917352. Verified fits my car and does not.
What is the workaround for replacement orders for the Engine oil dipstick 2004 Solara 4 cyl 2.4?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2004 Toyota Solara. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Your reply sounds easy. If only I could get Toyota to order the correct part, but they say it doesn't exist.
Two Toyota dealers Parts department (Fort Worth, TX and Weatherford, TX) both stated Toyota does not make the engine oil dipstick anymore for my year, make, model they ran my vin. However, they are thinking perhaps the 2006 Solara that has the same motor may work but who knows if the mounting position is the same.

I I ordered the engine oil dipstick from O'Reilly's and
From another auto parts store both are selling the Gorman engine oil dipsticks Gorman needs to update and eliminate the 2004 Toyota Solara as a fit.
There's nothing out there I don't even see a workaround so off to the salvage yards
