What This Part Does
The 22428286 is a genuine Volvo Penta OEM dipstick extension tube. It extends the reach of the oil dipstick in marine engine installations where the standard dipstick is difficult to access due to tight engine compartment layouts, angled installations, or surrounding components. Using the correct extension ensures the dipstick seats properly and gives an accurate oil level reading — critical for protecting the engine between service intervals.
Compatible Applications
Fitment should be confirmed using your engine serial number and the correct Volvo Penta parts diagram before ordering. This extension tube is used across select Volvo Penta marine diesel and gasoline engine installations where the standard dipstick configuration requires extended reach.
- Verify fitment by engine serial number via the Volvo Penta parts catalog
- Confirm the extension tube part number matches your specific engine's lubrication schematic
Serial Number Requirement
Dipstick tube configurations can vary between engine serial ranges even within the same engine family. Always confirm part number 22428286 against your engine serial number and the correct Volvo Penta lubrication system diagram before ordering.
When to Replace This Part
- Extension tube is cracked, kinked, or damaged
- Dipstick no longer seats securely or seals properly
- Oil contamination or moisture entry through the dipstick tube
- During engine overhaul or when replacing the dipstick assembly
Installation Notes
- Ensure the extension tube is fully seated and secured before running the engine
- Check that the dipstick reads correctly after installation — compare against a known-good oil level
- Inspect the sealing area for debris or damage before reassembly
- Do not overtighten any retaining hardware — follow Volvo Penta torque specifications
Service Interval
Inspect the dipstick tube and extension for cracks, wear, or loose fit at every oil change interval. Volvo Penta recommends oil changes every 250 hours or annually for most marine diesel applications — consult your engine's service manual for the correct interval for your specific model.

Parts Desk Insights
This part comes up most often during engine compartment work where the standard dipstick is awkward to reach — particularly in tightly packaged inboard installations. The most common issue is customers ordering a replacement dipstick when the real problem is a damaged or missing extension tube. If the dipstick is reading inconsistently or won't seat fully, check the extension tube condition before replacing the dipstick itself. Also worth confirming: some installations use both a dipstick tube and a separate extension, so pulling the correct schematic for the serial number avoids ordering the wrong piece.
