The oil dipstick is a common part in the engine lubrication system. Its core function is to ensure that the oil of the engine oil bottom is in a reasonable range, and also has the function of sealing the crankcase and providing support for other accessories. Although the structure is simple, it is essential on the engine. Oil gauge is widely used by automobile manufacturers at home and abroad because of its cost advantage over oil level sensor. The oil dipstick is usually used in combination with the ruler tube, so that the user can easily understand the oil level in the engine and ensure the engine oil storage in a reasonable range.

Reliable lubrication of engine is guaranteed by lubricating oil rice. Too much oil or too little will affect the normal operation of the engine. The addition of the lubricating oil must be appropriate. When the oil in the engine oil bottom is insufficient, the engine is not lubricated and the engine is badly lubricated. The engine will seriously damage the engine. If the engine oil is too much oil, the engine will stir the engine oil sharply in the end of the crankshaft and connecting rod, not only increases the engine power in the engine, but also increases the power inside the engine. Loss, but also will increase the amount of oil splashed onto the cylinder wall, resulting in the phenomenon of burning oil. Therefore, the engine oil sump must be controlled within the proper range.
