🔧 Product Description

• Engine Family: TAD

• Provides minimum and maximum engine-oil levels
• Verify installation side and tube before ordering
• Engine type: Volvo Penta 6-litre inline-six industrial diesel

🔌 Function

Provides a direct calibrated indication of the engine oil level in the sump.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Oil level reads incorrectly compared with known fill quantity
• Bent or damaged blade
• Missing or hardened handle seal
• Stick no longer seats fully in the guide tube
• Markings worn or unreadable

🛠️ 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
