🔌 Function

Reads sump oil level for the rotated pan arrangement, its blade length and marks calibrated to that guide tube so the level shown is the level actually in the sump.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Indicated level not matching the oil quantity put in
• Persistent overfill or underfill because the wrong orientation of dipstick is in use
• Blade bent or its markings unreadable through wear or corrosion
• Grommet or seal perished, letting oil mist track up the tube

🛠️ Service Notes

• This is the 180 degree orientation dipstick: 21749331 at 0.041 kg is the standard-orientation part, and the two are not interchangeable even though both will physically enter the tube
• Confirm the pan orientation on the engine rather than ordering by engine model alone
