Don't be so frugal a Dipstick to fit can be purchased at a number of different places. Examples [http://buy.autopartsreplacement.com/brand.php?make_text=gmc&model_text=van_full_size&ml=g250-vandura-004&year=1989&part_name=engine_dip_stick&my=1 Buy Me] An open or ill fitting Dipstick in the tube is an invite to suck dust & water into your engine oil. I looked in the Haynes manual... lists oil & filter change capacity as 5 qts. I will change the oil & filter, add 5 qts on level ground and insert a long rod or wire into the dipstick tube til it bottoms. Then remove it carefully and check the oil level on it. Cut it shorter so only about an inch dips into the oil, make a top cap somehow (or just hook the wire) and scribe my normal oil level onto the wire. Sounds pretty good...
