🔌 Function

Guides the dipstick down to the sump and seals the opening, keeping the blade on the same path so the reading repeats.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Oil weep or smell at the base of the tube
• Tube loose in its seat or able to be turned by hand
• Pipe bent or dented so the dipstick snags
• Seal at the base found hardened and cracked

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the build number against the break point before ordering
• Pipe 23680731 replaces an overlapping set of earlier numbers on the same four engines, so order by part number rather than by fitment alone
• Renew the seal at the base of the pipe when it is disturbed
