Usage:

ENGINES3500 AND 3500B ENGINES (SEE INCLUDED CHART) EQUIPPED WITH SHALLOW OIL PANS

Problem:

An oil level gauge intended for use with deep sump oil pans may have been installed in some engines equipped with shallow oil pans.

Solution:

Check the engines listed in the chart. If you have one of these engines and it is equipped with a shallow oil sump (500 hour pan), check the oil level gauge. If a 7C-9786 Oil Level Gauge is found, replace it with the correct 4P-3784 Oil Level Gauge.
