Default Oil dipstick tube

I tried to check my oil and the dipstick tube has literally broken into 4 pieces. It must be from all of the heat under the hood making the plastic brittle. Has anybody else had this problem? Is it a fairly easy replacement or should I let my mechanic do it?

Dude. EASY fix. Go to ECSTuning.com and order a new one. 4 bucks tops. I ordered one a couple weeks ago. Super easy to install. Just take the old, crappy one off, slide the new one on.
