• 15650-5BF-A01 (156505BFA01)

When to Replace / Why Choose OEM?

You should replace your oil dipstick if:

• The plastic handle (pull ring) is cracked or broken.
• The rubber seal (O-ring) at the top has hardened or perished, causing oil misting around the dipstick tube.
• The level markings on the tip have become difficult to read.

Important: Using a non-genuine dipstick can lead to incorrect oil level readings. Even a 2-3mm difference in length can result in running the engine with too little or too much oil, which is dangerous for high-performance turbocharged units.

Installation & Service Tips

Replacing the dipstick is a simple "plug and play" procedure. Before inserting the new dipstick, we recommend lightly coating the rubber O-ring with fresh engine oil to ensure a smooth seal and prevent the rubber from sticking. Always check your oil level on a level surface after the engine has been off for a few minutes.
