ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for locating and guiding a dipstick used to measure the level of oil in a crankcase of an automobile engine and for wiping excess or residual oil from the dipstick. For existing vehicles, an adaptor is provided which is secured to the exterior of a dipstick tube. The adaptor has a lower section which engages the dipstick tube, an intermediate seciton to receive a cap member for the tube, and an upwardly extending funnel-shaped top section serving as an easy locator for the lower end of the dipstick. The upper edge of the funnel-shaped top section is provided with one or more wiper slots to wipe residual oil from the dipstick. For new automobiles, the dipstick tube is formed with a flared-funnel top which preferably terminates in a cylindrical vertical wall in which at least one wiper slot is provided. The handle of the dipstick is provided with a plug-like member from which the dipstick is subtended and which also carries a cover member to prevent excessive oil contamination.
