New dipstick and tube designs require approval and/or validation by Eaton. 2. A vented dipstick tube design is required. 3. A supporting bracket to eliminate vibration is required at the upper end of the dipstick tube. The bracket must be attached to the transmission or engine and not to the frame or body 4. A minimum overall vertical rise of 6” must be maintained above the clutch housing oil pan mounting surface for oil filling. 5. The first section of the dipstick tube must be vertical from the oil pan connector, a minimum of 2.5” above the clutch housing oil pan mounting surface, to insure accurate level readings. 6. Horizontal or near horizontal runs, sharp tight and excessive bends are prohibited in the tube design as they adversely affect oil fill time and accurate level readings. 7.
