05/06 Dodge Magnum When I checked the oil the dipstick broke off when I went to check the oil and is below the top of the tube. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

You can use a pick to try to pull it out or drill a tiny hole in the plastic & thread a small screw in the hole to pull it out or seal the oil fill hole & try to pop it out with air......... which ever method you try, spray a little PB blaster (or WD40) on it 1st to lube up the o ring................

Thanks. I tried the screw, but I didn't pre-drill I was worried about getting bits of plastic in the engine if I went to deep. I will try again.

The screw method will only work if you drill a hole in the stick to screw it in to, so it has something to grab onto.....
