Product Details
The Thermo King 117487 Dipstick Oil is an engine oil level indicator designed for Thermo King refrigeration units and associated engines used in transport refrigeration. This component provides a clear, repeatable reference for "Full" and "Add" oil conditions and installs through the designated dipstick tube or oil fill access on the engine. For exact fitment guidance and model-specific installation, reference engine documentation or consult West Texas Thermo King certified technicians.
Efficiency & Sustainability
Maintaining correct oil levels supports fuel-efficient cooling by keeping engine systems within designed tolerances and reducing mechanical losses. Proper oil management complements Smart Reefer SR-4 monitoring strategies and helps fleets meet emissions and efficiency goals associated with CARB Evergreen and other environmental programs when applied within Thermo King service practices.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
Insert the dipstick fully and read oil level on a level surface after engine cool-down or as specified by engine procedures. Use OEM clamps and seals where applicable and inspect the dipstick for wear or contamination during routine service intervals. Replace the dipstick if markings become illegible or if the handle/tube shows excessive wear.
Real-World Applications
The Thermo King 117487 Dipstick Oil is ideal for daily inspections on reefer trailers, refrigerated box trucks, and truck-mounted Thermo King units that require precise engine oil monitoring to sustain temperature control and reliable operation during long-haul and regional service. Available for installation and service in Amarillo, Lubbock, Odessa, and throughout West Texas.
