Additional Information
The lawn and garden equipment engine oil dipstick, part number P54086, screws into the engines oil fill tube and provides a visual reference for oil level. Using the markings on the dipstick helps you make sure the engine has the correct amount of oil for proper operation.
If the engine oil level reads low after normal operation, the dipstick may be damaged, bent, or giving an inaccurate reading. A dipstick that will not seat fully in the tube, shows unclear markings, or feels loose can also make it difficult to determine the correct oil level.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before removing or installing the dipstick. The dipstick is near the oil fill area and metal edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during handling. Confirm the dipstick seats fully in the tube and provides a clear reading before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
