what is the importance of the dipstick and its seals

Post by pa cockle »

Hi , could someone please tell me the official VOLVO reason for the .o. rings on the dip stick and the ramifications of not having them there..
does it have any relevance to oil pick up and oil distribution to the working parts of the motor..

this sounds a silly question but I am going somewhere with this,..it's doing my head in.. cheers Pa..

Instead of quoting this O-ring dipstick post here in this post, I'll lock this and we can carry on the conversation there, if it doesn't answer your question outright.

(Short answer: I don't know.)
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
