A dipstick basically lets you manually check your engine oil level. It’s a measuring tool, really. It has markings on it – usually “Min” and “Max” or similar – that show you where the oil should be. It also gives you a quick look at the oil's condition – you can see if it's clean, milky, or has metal shavings in it, which could indicate bigger problems. It’s part of your engine’s lubrication system. The dipstick fits into the engine’s oil pan, and when you pull it out, it brings with it a coating of oil. That coating against the markings is what tells you how much oil is in the engine. It’s a direct way to verify the oil level isn’t too low or, less commonly, too high. Running your engine with low oil is a quick way to cause serious damage. Oil is what keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents wear and tear. Think of it like a shield, protecting the engine’s internal parts. If the oil gets too low, that shield weakens, and things start grinding against each other. You’ll notice if your oil is low because the oil pressure light on your dashboard will likely illuminate, but it's much better to check proactively. A dipstick is a cheap part – you can easily find replacements at places like Fixparts Online – but the damage from neglecting it can be very expensive. It’s a simple check you can do in a few seconds that can save you a lot of trouble down the road. Backed by experts: Dipstick (MPN 71310296MO) includes a 12-month warranty!
