DESCRIPTION

The Cummins 4904552 Dipstick is a vital component for heavy-duty trucks, designed to monitor engine oil levels. Ensuring proper lubrication is essential for engine performance and longevity ¹.

Basic Concepts of a Dipstick

A dipstick is a tool used in internal combustion engines to measure engine oil levels. It features a long rod with markings for minimum and maximum oil levels. When removed, the oil level can be assessed against these markings ².

Purpose of the Cummins 4904552 Dipstick

This Cummins part measures the oil level within the engine, ensuring proper lubrication for smooth operation and efficiency. Adequate lubrication reduces friction and wear, enhancing engine performance and lifespan ¹.

Key Features

The 4904552 is constructed from durable materials and includes precise markings for oil level indication. It may also feature a temperature sensing bulb for additional information about the oil’s temperature ³.

Benefits of Using the Cummins 4904552 Dipstick

Using this part offers accurate oil level measurements, facilitating regular maintenance routines and contributing to engine longevity ¹.

Installation and Usage

To install the 4904552, locate the dipstick tube on the engine and insert the dipstick fully. After a few seconds, withdraw it to check the oil level against the markings. Ensure the engine is on a level surface and has been off for a few minutes to allow the oil to settle ².

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

If the Dipstick provides inaccurate readings, check for proper insertion and ensure the engine is on a level surface. Replace the dipstick if damage is observed. Regular cleaning prevents buildup that may affect readings ³.

Role in Preventive Maintenance

Incorporating the 4904552 into a preventive maintenance program is beneficial for heavy-duty trucks. Regular oil level checks help identify potential issues before they lead to engine damage ¹.

Cummins Overview

Cummins Inc. is a manufacturer of diesel engines and related technologies, known for innovation and quality. The company’s reputation for reliable components, such as the 4904552, is built on engineering excellence and customer satisfaction ³.

Cummins Dipstick Part 4904552 Compatibility

The Cummins dipstick part number 4904552 is compatible with several engine models, including the QSM11 CM570 and QSK19 CM570. It is engineered for precise measurements and easy oil checks ³.

Role of Part 4904552 Dipstick in Engine Systems

The 4904552 is crucial for maintaining and operating engine systems, particularly in relation to gauge and oil level monitoring.

Interaction with the Gauge

The dipstick interfaces directly with the oil level gauge system, providing a physical measurement that can be visually assessed or electronically read ².

Ensuring Accurate Oil Level Readings

Accurate oil level readings are fundamental for engine health. The dipstick allows for precise measurement of the oil within the crankcase, which is then relayed to the oil level indicator ².

Maintenance and Diagnostic Role

The dipstick plays a role in routine maintenance and diagnostics. Regular checks can identify potential issues such as oil leaks or consumption rates that may indicate wear or other underlying problems within the engine ³.

Conclusion

The Cummins 4904552 Dipstick is integral to the accurate functioning of the gauge and oil level systems, ensuring engines operate within safe parameters and facilitating both routine maintenance and diagnostic processes ¹²³.
