-   For TAD650VE and TAD660VE installations
-   Dipstick 20977502 carries the same description at 0.240 kg with 7 applications - only 6 grams separate them, so order by part number

## 🔌 Function

Reaches into the sump on a flexible stem so the oil level can be read at the tube, with the marks set for the standard sump depth.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Level reading that does not match the oil actually in the engine
-   Marks worn, polished or unreadable on the blade
-   Stem kinked, or the sheath split so the dipstick will not seat
-   Seal or grommet at the tube top perished, letting oil mist escape

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Marked for the standard sump - a deep or shallow sump takes its own dipstick, so check the sump before ordering
-   If the old dipstick was suspect, check the new reading against a measured refill rather than trusting either blade

## 📦 Condition

-   Genuine Volvo Penta part
-   Brand new
-   Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
