Help--- My engine oil dipstick handle broke loose and the dipstick is stuck down the tube too far to reach with a needle nose pliers. How do I remove it.

Also does this vehicle have a low engine oil warning light?

how far down would you say it is? they make very small needle nose pliers about 6" long. yah, you should have a low oil warning light. do you see it when you turn ignition to on?

fixitmr- I would say it is stuck about 3 inches down the tube. I have tried needle nose pliers, but cannot open them to grasp the dipstick once they are in the tube. Also, no I do not see a low oil warning light anywhere on the instrument panel cluster when I turn the ignition on. The car does have an oil pressure guage, but that will not tell me the oil level

Thanks smith18

next thing to try is if dipstick tube is removable. it should be. you unbolt the bracket and pull it out.
