| No, did not even know they made one for the Teryx. Had one on my Rhino though. | |

| Don't know if they do.
I was thinking that the thread pitch should be the same on all machines for the dipstick and it could be used on various machines.
As usual no one wants to make one for the Prowler and checking and filling oil on my XTZ is a total pain. Thought if one of these would thread in I could raise it up and make it somewhat easier.
I'll have to take my spare dipstick out and try on a buddy of mines Rhino to see it the thread pitch is the same. | |

| Another question for you.
Just looking on Ebay and the dipstick they show just slides in, pressure fit style.
Where does the extension screw into?????? | |

| It screwed right into the dipstick plug. Even if the threads are the same, the depth of the stick would not give a correct reading in all machines. That stick length has to be calibrated for each machine for accurate oil level. | |

I can always mod the dipstick, that's the easy part. | |
