21685807 Oil Dipstick | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Calibrated engine-oil dipstick assigned to a specific Volvo Penta sump depth and guide-tube arrangement. The three adjacent service numbers identify different installation geometries and must not be selected solely by appearance.

⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine calibrated Volvo Penta dipstick
• Distinct sump/guide-tube configuration
• Factory minimum and maximum markings
• Oil-resistant handle and seal
• Engine serial and oil-pan verification essential

🔌 Function

Provides the factory oil-level reference for safe filling and routine inspection.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Bent or broken blade
• Unreadable level markings
• Damaged handle or seal
• Incorrect reading after a sump or tube change
• Missing dipstick

🛠️ 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
