My engine oil dipstick broke in the dipstick tube i have a friend who will help me take it out. But the boken oil dipstick in my car is orange where you read the Low and full mark. I went to the mazda dealership today and they gave me a different engine oil dipstick and they kept telling me thats the right one for my car. The part no. for this dipstick is bpd3-10-450c is this the right dipstick for my car, or am i suppose to use only the orange dipstick for my car or did mazda update there dipstick?

I believe this dipstick they gave me according to them can fit any Mazda protege or protege5 from 1996- 2001 regardless of engine type\

My car mazda protege 2000 1.6l

here is the orange diptick:

 

So, you old dip stick was plastic and the new 1 is steel?

Is the oil level in your engine at the same mark on both dipsticks?

 

Yes the old one was a orange plastic the new one is steel. Havent checked the oil level because havnt taken the broken dipstick out of the car yet

 

Most likely Mazda realised the plastic dip stick was crap & replaced it with a steel 1.
