How to Replace Oil Dipstick 2000-07 Volvo V70

Hi. I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

Hi, everyone. Sue here from 1A Auto. Today we have our '03 V70 Volvo in the shop, and as simple as changing the dipstick. We carry this at 1A Auto, so it's an OE style. It even has red. Has the engine. Even has the Xs. I think it came from the manufacturer. You can get this at 1A Auto, like I said. So, it simply just ... Pull out the old oil dipstick. Let's measure it, make sure it's the same length. It is. It's just not old and stained. Even has the notches in the same spot. Simply drop it down in and you're ready to go.

You might say, "Why would I need to change my stick? It's not broken or anything." Well, there's a couple of reasons why. One, it's not expensive at all. Two, the old one gets stained and it's hard to read the oil level on that. But more importantly, these O rings get crushed over time, and the old one goes right in and you'll see that it just ... There's nothing to it. So, that can have oil blow by. Moisture can end up getting inside. We don't want that, so for the small price of a new stick, the new O rings, look at that. You have to push it down in.
