i'm on my 4th dipstick. Here is what i have done though. i went to the junkyard and got 2 dipsticks. i got one from a civic and one from the same year as my integra. surprisingly, The Civic dipstick rubberseals DO NOT burn off and i use the INTEGRA one to check my oil .

There is one solution. Hope this helps
