Description
Overview:
This is a genuine Perkins oil dipstick (OEM No. 3178C088) for checking engine oil levels accurately on Perkins 1004 and 1104 series diesel engines, including the 4.318 variant.

Being a genuine Perkins part, it offers reliable fit and material quality consistent with OEM standards for long service life.
