Method to check car engine oil: First, pull out the oil dipstick and use a tissue to completely wipe off the oil stuck to the dipstick head. Then, reinsert the cleaned dipstick all the way back in, and pull it out again. Observe the position of the oil stuck to the dipstick. If the oil level is between the upper and lower marks, it is in the ideal position, indicating the engine oil level is appropriate. If it is below the lower mark, you need to add oil. Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts and to remove sludge and varnish from the engine.
