i now have a built d16z6 motor and the only dipstick i have happens to be from an old d15b2. does anyone know if it is the same legnth cause it fits, i just dont want to be wrong on this one and fire it up with low oil or or something stupid like that, any help would be cool. i am going to be putting up some pics of my build just as soon as i get a chance

 

there the same.

 

thanks yo, thats all i needed, now that i think about it the pans are the same so it would have made sense for the dipsticks to be the same.

 

The dipstick on my g/f's sister's D16Z6 was a little bit shorter mine on my D15B2 (or it might have been the other way around)...

Her handle came off hers, and I was giving her one of mine off the D15B2 and it was as different size. When her origonal D16Z6 dipstick was on full...the D15B2 dipstick was 3/4 full.

IDK if they are supposed to be the same or not (hers could have been replaced at one point)...but in my case these were different:
93 EX (D16Z6) vs. 90 HB (D15B2)

 

oh ****, good thing i checked this thread again, maybe i should just go get one off a junkyard car to be safe.

 

The part number is different between the D16Z6 and D15B2/D16A6

 

wooops i figured theyd be the same. i gave my buddy a d15b2 dip stick for his z6 hes been using it for a while no problems. maybe i should tell him.

 

my d15b2 dipstick is about 3 inches shorted then the one from my d16y7.....

 

a b16 dipstick is the same for d16 dipstick but b18 is different for some reason. Like 2mm off.

but those are 2 completely different dipsticks in different locations

 

yeah i know but i was just saying

 

okay, so to be safe does any one know how many quarts of oil a d16z6 takes?

 

It should say in your owner's manual or on your factory airbox. If you don't have either of those, it'll be listed in a Chiltons/Haynes repair manual. If you don't have one, you should invest in one.

Off the top of my head, it's 3.3 quarts roughly or something close to that.
