Question 142Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is D) In most situations this would never be done. The length of the dipstick should not need to be changed. The dipstick is designed to accurately measure the oil level in the engine crankcase. Changing the length of the dipstick would provide inaccurate oil level readings, which could lead to engine damage if the oil level is not properly maintained. The dipstick length is set by the engine manufacturer and should not be altered. The other answer choices describe situations that would not require changing the dipstick length, as the oil level should be addressed through other means, such as adding or changing the oil, rather than modifying the dipstick.
