Can I still drive if the oil dipstick is slightly contaminated?

Strictly speaking, it is not advisable to drive as there are potential hazards. Below is relevant information: Oil dipstick: Remember that burning 1 liter of oil per 10,000 kilometers is normal. Perform a routine check every 3,000 kilometers by inspecting the oil dipstick. Method for checking oil level: Park the car on a flat surface. With the engine off, pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it into the oil hole, ensure it is fully inserted, then pull it out again to check the oil level based on the dipstick's markings. Choosing engine oil: When selecting a lubricant brand, if you prioritize long-lasting oil, you can choose Mobil lubricants; if you care about the oil's engine cleaning capability, Shell lubricants can be used; if you need lubricants with strong oil film toughness, Castrol is recommended. For turbocharged engines, which are prone to carbon buildup at high speeds, Shell's fully synthetic oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be used.
