I have found that 3/4" PVC (sched 40) fits down into the tube, and with a PVC cap on it has served me for a year since my dipstick went missing. I plan to drill a hole in the middle and thread a rod that, with your help, will be marked and held in place in that PVC cap with a nut underneath and on top, then bend the rod in an L shape above that to aid in removing it to check the oil. If you have a better idea, feel free to share. Thanks.
