How much oil is there from the upper limit to the lower limit on a car's dipstick?
1 Answers
The oil level from the upper limit to the lower limit on a car's dipstick is generally 1.5L of engine oil. The function of the dipstick is not only to check the level of engine lubricating oil. Experienced drivers or repair personnel can detect many engine working conditions by inspecting the dipstick. Proper use of the dipstick plays a crucial role in extending the engine's service life. Usage method: Locate the position of the oil dipstick, which is usually near the engine with a pull ring. Pull out the dipstick when the vehicle is cool. After the first removal, wipe it clean with a clean tissue, then reinsert it. Upon the second removal, check the oil level on the dipstick. If the oil level is between the upper and lower limits, it indicates the oil quantity is normal. Effects of insufficient oil: Too little engine oil will increase engine wear. If the engine lacks oil for a long time, it will suffer severe erosion and eventually burn out, leading to abnormal engine operation. When the oil in the engine oil pan is insufficient, the contact areas such as bearings and journals will have poor lubrication due to the lack of oil, accelerating wear and even causing failures like bearing seizure or journal burning.
