Went to check the oil in my car today and the dip stick will not go back in all the way.?

What is the cause of this?Went to check the oil in my car today and the dip stick will not go back in all the way.?
Take the dipstick out and try again. Try turning it 180 degrees. the spout is curved and the dipstick has a natural curve to it. If you put it in the opposite direction, you're trying to bend it the wrong way and it won't want to go in. Went to check the oil in my car today and the dip stick will not go back in all the way.?
some dip sticks has a little catch on the side of them.if your do just squeeze it where the catch is and it will slide right on in.
Pull the dipstick back out and reverse the flat blade part before entering it back in the dipstick tube. See if this doesen't take care of the problem.
Have you tried rotating it slightly? On some cars the dipstick will only slide in one way.
Just move it around and don't be scared to use a bit of force.
