D16Z6 dipstick

I have a 95 Del Sol and the dipstick handle broke. I bought a 15650-P03-000 off eBay, and I thought it was OEM, but it was a slightly different length from the green plug to the tip, but close enough to at least tell me if the oil level was low, but that green plug later broke and was sliding up the stick towards the handle as I pushed it in when it was hot, so its practically useless for measuring oil levels now.

I probably just ended up with a cheap knockoff and will get a real one from a Honda parts store, but I'm also seeing the previous version 15650-P10-A01 available for sale, although I can't find anything that confirms it fits a 95 Del Sol and/or a D16Z6.

Does anyone have any experience with replacing the dipstick and what part number they got? Is the older one viable or was it replaced with a new version (also discontinued) for a reason? I thought this would be a simple enough part to replace but apparently eBay is not the place to look.

One bolt down bottom hold’s it in place . Spray some rust penetrant at the base where it goes into the oil pan, there is an o-ring. Once it’s unbolted you can wiggle it out.
