Car or truck? That part does matter.
 
You'll need to post the length of your dip stick tube to match it with the stick. Your dipstick is missing or clipped off? If the tube is bent at the wrong angle, the crankshaft will hit the dip stick and break it off. That would have to be corrected or your new stick will get broken too. I pulled engine apart years ago that had 8 broken off ends laying in the bottom of the oil pan!
 
Hey cudamark,
my dipstick tip is broken off. I will measure the dipstick tube and check if my tube is bent at the wrong angle. Thank you very much for your info.
 
The way to test it, is to start the engine and slowly slide the dip stick in. It you feel the crank hitting the stick pull it back out and carefully bend the tube to a different angle and try again. Sometimes it just takes a slight tweak, other times it can take quite a bend to get it where the crank won't hit the stick.
