Oil Contents

[RogerH]

This is a very clever mechanical oil contents thingy.  HERE

If there is low oil level the barrel of the knob when  pulled is RED

If there is enough oil then the barrel is green

I would like it - but at £50 then I'll have to pass  (I do have a dip stick)

Looks like its missing the essential part that goes into the sump! My Volvo doesnt have a dipstick, level check is through ignition push button.

Basically a tube that fits in place of your dip stick.

Thanks Stu,

 

I contacted the ebay seller and they do not have the dipstick tube.
