I think with a little bit of work these could fit other cars too.

I also got a dipstick, cause the previous one was broken. I filled the car with 2.5 qts at the last oil change and the oil level on the previous dipstick was about a half a qt above full. I was confused and left it how it was, I ended up getting a dipstick at the pick-n-pull and put it in my CRX and figured out that the old one was the wrong dipstick and I was really a qt of oil low.
Damn previous owner didn't know what the hell he was doing
Shouldn't of hurt anything.
Some engines can run on as little as a quart of oil without damaging anything,think about it the oil pump sits in the very bottom of the sump and pumps that motor all through-out the engine regardless.Yea it's not ideal but as long as it's all getting oil flow no harm no foul.Not like I'm saying you can go and run your engine on a quart of oil now but I wouldn't worry about it too much.
