11423481 Oil Dipstick | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

A genuine Volvo Penta engine-oil dipstick for TAD1250VE, TAD1251VE and TAD1252VE industrial engines. The calibrated blade provides the correct minimum and maximum oil-level references when installed through dipstick tube 11423484 and extension tube 980833. The dipstick must be matched to the original sump and tube arrangement. A dipstick of similar length from another D12 installation can produce an incorrect oil-level reading.

🔌 Function

The dipstick is inserted into the dipstick tube to allow the engine oil level in the sump to be read against marked minimum and maximum gradations. It also lets the operator inspect oil colour and condition during routine service checks.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Bent or distorted shaft that will not seat fully in the dipstick tube
• Worn or damaged seal or grommet allowing oil mist or spray to escape at the tube
• Illegible or worn min/max markings giving inaccurate level readings
• Loose or broken handle making removal and refitting difficult
• Corrosion or scoring along the blade that makes the oil film hard to read

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the level with the boat at its normal attitude and by the method given in your engine's operator's manual, wiping the stick clean before taking the reading
• Seat it fully to its stop each time so the marks are read at the right depth, and check the top seal or grommet is sound so the tube stays sealed
• Use the dipstick specified for your engine — length and graduation are matched to that sump, so a near-fit reads high or low
• Replace a stick that is bent, worn smooth at the marks or corroded, and make sure its tube is unobstructed and properly clipped so it cannot vibrate
• Never rely on a single reading if the level looks wrong; wipe, reseat and read again before adding or draining oil
