But now for the sad news, the dipstick broke and it broke in the lower tube. Tried to remove the lower metal tube but the intake manifold is in the way.

How long is a regular dipstick? My dipstick is 63 cm now.

Is the lower tube open at the end? Would be nice to know before i drop the oil pan.
The dipstick is 92cm long including the red plastic end.
If you remove the oil pan (which would be easier than removing the manifold), the remains of the dipstick should be visible and be easy to pull out.
