S/S Oil Dipstick - Univ. w/Weld-In Bung

The MILODON Stainless Steel Oil Dipstick with Weld-In Bung (Part #22080) is a premium universal oil level monitoring solution engineered for custom engine builds and performance vehicle applications where factory dipstick routing proves impractical. This weld-on design eliminates reliance on factory oil pan mounting provisions, offering installers complete flexibility in engine bay layout—critical for custom engine swaps, heavily modified LS platforms, and small-block builds where aftermarket pans or revised oil galleries necessitate repositioned monitoring capability.

Constructed from polished billet stainless steel with braided reinforcement, this dipstick assembly resists corrosion and thermal cycling—essential in high-performance or marine environments where salt exposure or sustained engine heat would degrade standard steel variants. The 23.5-inch overall length accommodates deep oil pans while the flexible design minimizes vibration-induced noise at idle and under acceleration. A copper gasket seals the bung interface, preventing seepage while offering thermal compliance across the typical operating range of street and track vehicles.

This universal application suits engine builders and performance shops installing custom engines, upgrading cooling systems, or repositioning oil reservoirs in track-focused vehicles. The weld-in bung requires permanent mounting by MIG or TIG welding to a suitable boss or reinforced pan section—plan installation before fabrication. At 0.7 lbs, the assembly adds minimal mass while providing reliable oil temperature and level feedback in demanding driving conditions where precision engine management matters.

MILODON dipsticks are recognized for manufacturing durable engine instrumentation components across automotive restoration, hot rod, and racing markets, combining form with corrosion-resistant materials suited to long-term engine bay exposure and varied operating temperatures.
