3948 - 6.7l Diesel - Engine Oil Dipstick Creep Or Difficult To Remove

Some 6.7l Diesel Equipped Vehicles, Built Before 6/1/2010, May Exhibit Engine Oil Dipstick Creep While Driving Or May Be Difficult To Remove. This May Be Caused By The Dipstick O-ring Retention To The Oil Dipstick Tube. An Updated Cable Style Design, Part Number Bc3z-6750-b, Is Now Available For Service. Early Level Dipsticks Can Be Easily Identified By Their Blade Style Design. Tip: When Checking The Oil Level With Either Dipstick Design Style On This Engine, The Engine Must Sit 20 Minutes After Key Off To Allow Adequate Time For The Engine Oil To Return To The Oil Pan. Failure To Wait 20 Minutes Will Result In The Oil Level Indication Being Low.
