At what position should the engine oil be on the dipstick?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the engine oil level should be between the H and L marks on the dipstick. Here's some relevant information about the dipstick: 1. Function of the dipstick: The engine requires an appropriate amount of oil for lubrication. Insufficient oil can cause serious damage to engine components, while excessive oil may lead to oil burning and carbon buildup in the combustion chamber, reducing engine power. Checking the oil level weekly with the dipstick helps identify potential issues promptly. 2. Definition of the dipstick: The dipstick is a commonly used measuring tool to check the oil level in the lubrication system. Since the dipstick insertion path has bends, the dipstick must be able to deform during insertion and return to its original shape when pulled out.
