Lokar ED-5003 Billet Aluminum Dipstick with Slim Header Design

Description

Product Overview

The Lokar ED-5003 dipstick is engineered for enthusiasts who demand precision and durability. Crafted from billet aluminum, the handle offers a solid, lightweight feel while resisting corrosion. Its slim design, measuring just 1.25 inches thick, slides effortlessly into tight header clearances, especially when paired with block‑hugger headers. The flexible inner measuring cable bends to follow the oil pan contour, delivering an easy‑to‑read oil level without guesswork. Dimensions are 23.25 x 6 x 1.25 inches, and the unit weighs only 7 ounces, making it a low‑profile yet robust addition to any performance engine.

Usage

Ideal for street‑performance builds, race‑ready engines, and daily drivers seeking accurate oil monitoring, the ED-5003 fits most V‑type engines with standard oil pans. Install it by threading the dipstick through the existing dipstick tube; the slim profile ensures it clears even the most aggressive header configurations. Once in place, pull the dipstick to read the oil level on the flexible cable, which provides a clear, graduated scale for quick checks during warm‑up, after track sessions, or routine maintenance.
