Mine broke, and it's 11 pm...nothing open. I gotta drive to work tomorrow and I want to know if it'll be ok, or will i get oil all over everything and cel's ?

Take a small peice of rang and cover the hole and you should be fine.

Unless it is a very, very short distance...could spew oil...those dipsticks "snap-seal" for a reason.

shouldn't i worry about the rag catching fire...?

I stuffed the hole with a rubber glove, no CEL's or anything

it was just a lil smaller than the whole. I wrapped the bolt with electrical tape so that it fit very snugly in hole all the way down. I think a few very small pieces of plastic fell down but no way can i change the oil now...I'll pick up a tube tomorrow. thanks for your help guys

I hesitate to say carefully stuff the rag down the hole a bit. You have to make sure you can get it back out. Rag in the oil pan would be bad.

it's ghetto, but I suppose you could also use tinfoil, zip-tied so it doesn't blow off(?)

it back out. There was not a drop of oil on the bolt so i think it's safe to say that no oil even comes up the tube...
