The oil dipstick, commonly known as the dipstick or oil dipstick in cars, is an important tool for measuring and checking the engine oil level. The following is a detailed explanation of the oil dipstick:
1. Definition and Function
The oil level gauge is a simple level gauge that is used to directly display the oil level in the engine oil tank. Its main function is to measure the static oil level, thereby reflecting whether the engine oil level is within a reasonable range.
2. Structure and composition
The oil level dipstick usually consists of the following parts:
1. Dipstick rod: Also called a float rod, it is a long metal rod that usually has a float ball attached to one end. 2. Float: It is a hollow spherical object, usually made of white or black plastic. As the oil level rises or falls, the position of the float will also move. 3. Dial: It is a scale on the dipstick rod, usually made of aluminum or plastic, with a series of numbers engraved on it to indicate the level of oil.
3. Working Principle
The working principle of the oil dipstick is to determine the amount of oil by measuring the position of the float. When the oil level rises, the float will also rise, and the corresponding scale number will increase. For different fuel tanks, there are specific oil dipstick lengths and float volumes, as well as the corresponding relationship between the oil level and the scale.
4. Precautions for use
1. Check whether the scale on the oil level dipstick is clear and the zero position is accurate. 2. It is most accurate to check the oil level dipstick when the vehicle is stationary, such as overnight or after half an hour of parking. 3. When checking the oil level dipstick, check both sides, with the side with less oil being the correct side. If you are not sure, wipe it clean before checking again. 4. Under normal circumstances, the oil level dipstick should be checked regularly and should be checked once or twice a day. 5. Note that more oil is not always better. The higher the oil level, the greater the resistance of the engine. Ideally, the oil level should be kept slightly below the middle position, at which the engine resistance is minimal and the fuel consumption is the lowest, while the lubrication performance can also remain stable.
5. Maintenance and care
The maintenance and care of the oil level dipstick is relatively simple, mainly to keep it clean and avoid damage. When checking the oil level dipstick, be careful not to bend or damage it to avoid affecting its measurement accuracy. At the same time, if the oil level dipstick is found to be rusted or damaged, it should be replaced in time.
In short, the oil dipstick is an indispensable and important tool in the car engine. By properly using and maintaining the oil dipstick, you can ensure the normal operation of the engine and extend its service life.
