The Dipster Overview
There are over 263 million vehicles on the road today in the U.S. Most of these vehicles have a dipstick to check the level of motor oil in their engines. Of all of the routine inspections carried out on a vehicle by its owner, this is the most common.
When checking the oil level in a vehicle a person uses a rag or paper towel to wipe off the dipstick as they remove it from the tube. This first wipe is in preparation for obtaining an accurate reading of the vehicle’s oil level as it removes any oil that has been splashed up on the dipstick that would give a false reading. After the dipstick has been wiped clean, the stick is reinserted into the tube and withdrawn again to ascertain the proper oil level. Most drivers do not keep an oily rag in their vehicles to check their oil levels. They usually obtain a paper towel from a service station or from around their house. However, when they think to carry out this inspection, towels may not be convenient or available. The Dipster gives them a device that they can carry in their engine compartments at all times.
The Dipster consists of foam inserted in a plastic housing that is oil and temperature resistant. The housing’s shape has been engineered to optimize The Dipster’s function. The user wipes the stick as it is removed from the tube prior to taking a reading. The foam absorbs the oil from the stick and transfers it into the housing. The housing and foam insulate the user’s hand from the oil.
If The Dipster ever needs to be cleaned —
- Pour mineral spirits into The Dipster until it is filled to one-third (1/3) capacity with the mineral spirits.
- Replace the cap and shake The Dipster up and down.
- Remove the cap and allow The Dipster to stand for ten (10) minutes.
- Squeeze The Dipster while pouring the contents into the container you use to recycle your used motor oil.
- With the cap removed, let The Dipster stand overnight. Do not place The Dipster near an open flame (pilot light, etc.).
- Replace the cap in the morning and reattach The Dipster in your vehicle.
A magnet is permanently installed inside the base of the housing to attach The Dipster to the engine compartment for easy access.
