The engine lubricating oil system generally includes the lubricating oil storage system, the lubricating oil distribution system, the lubricating oil indicating system, etc. In the "Airworthiness Standards for Transport Aircraft", it is required that the lubricating oil quantity indicator must have a dipstick or an equivalent device to indicate each amount of oil in the oil tank. The oil dipstick is a liquid level gauge with a simple structure, which can directly display the liquid level of the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil tank.
The function of the oil dipstick is not only to check the oil level of the engine lubricating oil, experienced drivers or maintenance personnel can find many engine working dynamics by checking the oil dipstick; thus maintain the engine, find out the cause of failures and accidents in time, To avoid further deterioration of faults, etc., to respond quickly, to obtain correct judgments, and to provide a reliable basis. It can be said that the use of the oil dipstick plays a vital role in prolonging the service life of the engine.
The function of the oil dipstick is to measure the height of the static liquid level of the engine oil, so as to reflect whether the engine oil stock is within a reasonable range.
Conventional oil dipsticks will have obvious upper and lower limits, as long as the detected oil level is between the upper and lower. It is of course best if it can be in the middle position. One thing to note here is that the more oil the better, the higher the oil level, the greater the resistance of the engine (because the crankshaft needs to constantly stir the oil in the oil pan to achieve splash lubrication). Ideally, The liquid level can be kept a little lower than the middle position. At this time, the resistance of the engine is the lowest and the fuel consumption is the lowest, and the lubricating performance can also be kept stable.
