Stock Continental O200-A Engine Serial# 275936R
Part Number:649608-20
I have the cap and the dipstick and can still check oil quantity but need a replacement.
Any help locating one would be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 12,760 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts! Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 12,760 |

There are several varieties of dipstick available from Continental, and only one is correct for an O-200A in a Cessna 150. None of them fit both C-90's and O-200A's (according to Continental). There is a 5qt and 6qt dipstick! http://www.tcmlink.com/pdf2/SIL00-7A.pdf | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4,204 Likes: 1 Member/2500+posts | | Member/2500+posts Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4,204 Likes: 1 | Carl, I ordered one this afternoon and it is already at UPS. I'll soon know if the one Aircraft Spruce sells is the right one when it gets here. Watch this space!!  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 5,176 Likes: 842 Member/5000+posts! | | Member/5000+posts!

I went through this a few years ago before I knew you and before I joined this club...
Got the WRONG one, and ended up going to Ce$$na for the part.
I was ASTONISHED to learn it was not a "dip stick" but an "Oil Quantity Gauge" and was $107.50 delivered!
Another reminder of how much Ce$$na really loves us! Ha Ha!
