I found one post that said the dipstick was 92cm in length - not sure if that included the yellow handle or not. I would like to confirm the length if someone has the time to measure from the start of the metal to the end of the orange plastic...2.5L engine if that makes a difference...

Thanks!
Dipstick is about 36-1/8" on my '98, not including handle.
