Dipsticks

Dipsticks

Checking your oil shouldn’t be a messy guessing game. A high-quality dipstick is your engine’s primary health monitor, telling you instantly if you’re ready to ride or headed for a breakdown. At Wyld Performance, we replace those flimsy, hard-to-read factory sticks with precision-machined upgrades. Whether you need a vented dipstick for a high-performance V-Twin or a sleek, billet aluminum version for a custom build, our gear ensures you get a clear, accurate reading every single time.

Why a Better Dipstick Matters

Most stock dipsticks are made of cheap plastic or thin metal that can warp or become stained over time. When the oil level marks become blurry, you risk overfilling or—even worse—running bone dry. Our upgraded dipsticks feature high-contrast markings and knurled grips, making them easy to remove even with oily gloves. For riders chasing a cleaner look, our low-profile and “pop-up” designs sit flush with your engine case, removing that cluttered factory appearance without sacrificing utility.

Stop the Leaks and Blow-By

It’s not just about the stick; it’s about the seal. A loose or worn dipstick allows moisture to enter your oil and crankcase pressure to escape, often spraying a fine mist of oil onto your boots. We prioritize dipsticks with Viton O-rings and heavy-duty threads that stay tight under extreme vibration. If you’ve ever noticed “oil weeping” around your filler hole, a precision-fit upgrade is often the simplest and cheapest fix.

Dipsticks FAQ

Can a dipstick help with engine pressure? 

Yes. Some high-performance engines, especially large V-Twins, suffer from “blow-by” pressure. We carry vented dipsticks that allow the engine to breathe better, which can actually stop oil from leaking out of your air cleaner.

How do I get an accurate reading? 

Always check your owner’s manual. Some bikes require the oil to be checked while leaning on the kickstand, while others must be held upright. A clear, calibrated dipstick makes this much easier.

What is Billet Aluminum and why is it better? 

Billet means the part was carved from a single solid block of metal. These dipsticks won’t snap, melt, or cross-thread like cheap plastic versions, making them a one-time purchase for the life of your bike.

Do I need to replace the O-ring? 

If you see oil seeping around the base of your dipstick, the seal is shot. Our premium dipsticks come with high-heat O-rings that resist flattening and cracking much longer than the rubber found on stock parts.

Are Pop-Up dipsticks hard to use? 

Not at all. They stay flush with the bike for a smooth look and pop up with a simple turn when you need to check your levels. They are perfect for custom builds where you want to hide the filler hole.
