The
ZF Oil Dipstick (MPN: 4644231100) is a critical component of the lubrication system in an engine. It is used on vehicles with internal combustion engines manufactured by various brands. The technical benefits of this product include enhanced oil circulation, reduced heat buildup, and improved engine reliability.
Oil dipsticks are inserted into the engine oil pan to measure oil level, typically accessible from the engine bay. Construction utilizes a calibrated shaft with markings indicating minimum and maximum fluid levels. The tip features a sealing o-ring or flange to prevent oil leakage past the guide tube. Many designs incorporate a handle for ease of removal and inspection, and some feature a wiping surface to ensure accurate readings. Materials are commonly steel, stainless steel, or high-temperature polymers, resisting degradation from engine oil and heat.
