Product Description
The genuine Nissan engine oil level dipstick (part number 11140-VC20A) is an essential diagnostic and maintenance component of the engine lubrication system. The dipstick is designed to provide an accurate, mechanical check of the current engine oil level in the oil pan (sump) between the permitted minimum and maximum limits. Maintaining the correct oil level is critical for proper engine lubrication, reducing friction, aiding cooling, and preventing premature wear of internal engine components.
Technical Specifications and Construction:
- Part Number: 11140-VC20A
- Replacement / Alternative Reference Number: 11140VC201
- Manufacturer: Nissan (OEM)
- Part Type: Engine Oil Level Dipstick (Gauge Oil Level)
- Material Composition: Oil- and heat-resistant spring steel blade, durable plastic handle, and sealing ring interface
- Installation Location: Engine compartment, engine block oil guide tube
- Markings: Factory-calibrated minimum and maximum (L/H) level marks for accurate reading
Function and Maintenance:
Over time, oil level dipsticks can deteriorate due to extreme engine compartment temperatures and constant exposure to aggressive oil vapors. Common failure points include brittleness, cracking, or breakage of the plastic handle, oil leakage caused by degradation of the upper sealing surface (O-ring), and mechanical deformation of the metal blade, which can lead to inaccurate oil level readings. A genuine OEM replacement dipstick ensures precise measurement calibration and proper sealing of the engine guide tube.
