Frequently asked questions

What does the dipstick tube do?
The dipstick tube is the guide tube the engine oil dipstick passes through down into the sump. It locates in the cylinder block and directs the dipstick to the oil, sealing the entry point against oil leakage and dirt getting in.
Which Land Rovers use this metric dipstick tube?
This is the metric engine block version, fitting the Series III and Defender with 2.25L and 2.5L petrol and diesel, 2.5L turbo diesel and 200TDi engines. It suits the later metric-block 4-cylinder engines.
How do I know if I need the metric dipstick tube?
This tube is for the metric engine block, used on the later Series III and Defender 4-cylinder engines. Earlier imperial blocks take a different tube, so confirm your engine is a metric block before ordering to avoid a fitment mismatch.
