    ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK MARKING

    Foreword—This reaffirmed document has been changed only to reflect the new SAE Technical Standards Board
    format.

    1. Scope—This SAE Recommended Practice provides information useful in the marking of engine and
    transmission dipsticks used for fluid level indication.

    2. References—There are no referenced publications specified herein.

    3. General Requirements

    3.1 Lettering should be raised or depressed characters of the simple block type. 3 mm (1/8 in) high minimum, but
    5 mm (3/16 in) or higher is preferred. Depressed lettering may be filled with pigmented enamel to improve
    legibility.

    3.2 Space permitting, lettering should not be positioned between FULL and first ADD lines.

    3.3 The lower portion of the dipstick, below the FULL mark should be knurled, perforated, or coated to improve
    visibility of wetted level. Perforations of 2.29 mm (0.090 in) are ideal in a dipstick wide enough not to be
    seriously weakened by them. Level marks should not be stamped across the perforations. ADD lines and
    quantity required in quarts, pints, or liters may be included on the lower portion if the manufacturer so desires.

    3.4 Additional information for checking procedure or identification may be added to the dipstick above the FULL
    mark or on an attached tag at the manufacturer's discretion. Detailed checking procedure should be described
    and illustrated in the owner's or service manual.

    3.5 Locating dipsticks and filler spouts to make them accessible from the curb side of the vehicle, away from traffic
    is desirable. They should, however, be readily accessible regardless of that consideration and preferably both
    accessible from one position. See Figure 1.

    SAE Technical Standards Board Rules provide that: “This report is published by SAE to advance the state of technical and engineering sciences. The use of this report is entirely
    voluntary, and its applicability and suitability for any particular use, including any patent infringement arising therefrom, is the sole responsibility of the user.”

    SAE reviews each technical report at least every five years at which time it may be reaffirmed, revised, or cancelled. SAE invites your written comments and suggestions.
