Lokar Billet Aluminum Header Dipstick Modern

Description

Product Overview

The Lokar ED-5015 header dipstick is engineered for precision and durability in demanding automotive environments. Constructed from high‑grade billet aluminum, the handle offers exceptional strength while remaining lightweight at just one pound. The dipstick measures 23.25 inches long, 6 inches wide, and a thin 1‑inch profile, allowing it to slide effortlessly into tight header spaces. A flexible inner measuring cable runs the length of the stick, providing an easy‑to‑read, E‑Z read display that eliminates guesswork during oil checks. Designed for both factory‑installed and aftermarket Sanderson cast manifolds, this modern‑style tool delivers consistent performance whether you are performing routine maintenance or diagnosing engine issues.

Usage

The ED‑5015 is suited for a wide range of applications, from daily oil level verification in performance vehicles to detailed engine rebuilds in a professional shop. Its header‑mount design means it can be installed directly onto the header, keeping the dipstick out of the way while still providing instant access when needed. Ideal for race teams, automotive technicians, and dedicated hobbyists, the dipstick works equally well on gasoline and diesel engines, as well as on high‑performance turbocharged setups where accurate oil measurement is critical.
