Can You Directly Add Engine Oil When It's Low?

You can directly add engine oil to your car. The specific steps for adding engine oil are as follows: 1. When the engine oil is insufficient, you can add it yourself. However, it's important to ensure that the oil level remains slightly below the upper mark on the dipstick. First, turn off the engine and open the hood. 2. Locate the oil filler cap and unscrew it. Do not pour the new oil directly in at this point. You should first drain the old oil from the engine by opening the drain plug and collecting the old oil in a prepared container. 3. It's crucial to use the same brand of oil as before, and the opened oil container should not be older than one year. Once everything is ready, use a funnel to add the new oil through the filler hole until the oil tank is filled.
