Columbia Chipper Shredder Dipstick

This is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use in various small engines. This oil fill tube assembly is part of the oil delivery system. This tube delivers the oil to the oil tank when it is added to the engine. If this tube cracks or deteriorates over time, the oil will not make it to the oil tank or the engine. This could lead to complete engine failure if the leak is not discovered. Oil on the driveway or lawn or smoke coming from under the engine when the lawnmower is running is a sure sign that the tube may need to be replaced.The oil fill tube assembly also houses the dipstick which is used to check the oil level in the mower. If the assembly is leaking, the reading won't be accurate and the lawnmower may be operated without adequate oil which can damage the engine. A screwdriver is needed to replace the oil fill tube. Do not replace this part until the engine has cooled. This oil fill tube assembly is made of black molded plastic and sold as an individual unit. It is designed for use in lawnmowers and other small engines manufactured by Toro, Tecumseh, and Briggs & Stratton.

Log Splitters use this plug pipe to cover the oil tube and measure the amount of oil in the engine with the included dipstick. The dipstick sits inside the oil tube, and when it is pulled out, the amount of oil is determined by the markings on the dipstick. If the plug pipe is lost or misplaced while replacing the oil or making repairs to the engine, it will need to be replaced to prevent oil from leaking and to keep the pressure inside the oil tube optimal. Maintaining the correct oil level in all engines is critical to keeping the engine running. If the engine runs without oil, major damage can be done to the pistons and other parts, making the engine seized and have to be replaced. It is less expensive to maintain the oil than it is to replace the engine. This plug pipe with dipstick is an OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer.
