It’s basically a measuring tool. It lets you physically check the oil level in your engine. It’s a simple metal rod with markings on it – usually a ‘min’ and ‘max’ or full and low indication – that you pull out, wipe clean, reinsert, and then pull out again to read where the oil level is. Some also have a cap on the end, which helps keep dirt out. It’s part of your engine’s lubrication system. It provides a direct reading of the oil quantity. You pull it out, check the level, and know right away if you need to add more oil. It doesn't make the engine run, but it lets you confirm the oil is there to help everything run smoothly. Low oil is a big problem. Oil is the lifeblood of your engine, it keeps everything lubricated and prevents wear. If the oil gets too low, parts start rubbing together, causing damage. The dipstick acts like a shield, letting you catch a low oil level before it causes serious, expensive problems. You’ll notice if it’s not reading correctly – either consistently low even after you add oil, or if it's coated in a weird milky substance, which could indicate a bigger issue like coolant getting into the oil. You can find a replacement dipstick pretty easily; Fixparts Online has a good selection if you’re looking. It’s a cheap part to replace, and it can save you a ton of money in the long run by helping you keep up with your engine’s health.
