• Description:

  The W701261-S300 is a genuine Ford sealing ring built on the HM1 base, used to seal the engine oil dipstick tube where it enters the block or oil pan. Dealer catalogs carry it under the dominant name Engine Oil Dipstick Tube Seal, and the same service number also appears as a Tube O-Ring, an Engine Oil Dipstick Tube O-Ring, and simply a Seal, with catalog notes citing 1.6L non-turbo applications. Documented sample applications where this exact service number is cataloged include the Ford Contour, Fiesta and Ranger and the Mercury Cougar and Mystique; treat those as representative examples rather than a complete vehicle list, because Ford reuses one seal across many engines and model years and does not publish a single finite fitment chart for it. This O-ring seals the joint between the dipstick tube and its bore so oil does not weep out and air or debris cannot be drawn in; when it is hardened, cracked or missing, the engine can seep oil at the tube base or pull unmetered air. It is a single-use seal: once compressed and removed it should not be reinstalled, so a fresh one is fitted whenever the tube is disturbed. Replacing it with the correct genuine seal restores a clean, leak-free joint. Because the suffix code denotes a specific cross-section and diameter, confirm fit for your exact vehicle by VIN before ordering rather than relying on the sample applications above.
