i tried searching the threads. doing the rebuild thing and had to go to a scrapyard for an interior piece and noticed that the oil dipstick on the supra i was picking from was different than the one under my hood. i had a black handled T-shape handle dipstick. the one in the junk supra was a yellow ring pull dipstick. length is what's important here. i'm guessing. which one is correct? thanks guys. oh, btw-mine's an NA and the junker was a turbo.
correct oil dipstck?

Yellow ring is usually NA and the T handle ones are GTE
You need the correct upper tube for each type.

my N/A originally had the ring, but my JDM engine has the T-handle and so did the 7MGE Cressida dip stick I swiped at the junkyard...

My turbo had the yellow ring and the replacement I bought had the T.
Is it possibly a part update?

lol, maybe they just threw in whatever they had at the time? Neither of my motors are imported, though one of them was originally a turbo block, I think...
Edit: Actually, both of them are 86.5's. Maybe the T handle is a hold over from the mk2?

Like I said...
So far as I've ever seen the pre-89 turbos had the yellow ring while the 89+ turbo had a T handle.
Dunno aobut the N/A's but the dipsticks aren't the same length. It's easy to tell which one is which easily though as the Turbos have a cable, and the N/A's are sticks IIRC...
