How to Check Engine Oil in a Car?
1 Answers
To check the engine oil, locate the dipstick handle in the engine compartment and prepare a tissue. Then pull out the dipstick, use the tissue to completely wipe off the oil clinging to the dipstick head. Reinsert the cleaned dipstick all the way back in, then pull it out again. The oil adhering to the end of the dipstick this time can be used for observation. Below is an introduction to related information about engine oil: Engine Oil Classification: There are 4 types of summer oils, 6 types of winter oils, and 16 types of all-season oils. The viscosity grades for summer oils are: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. The higher the number, the greater the viscosity and the higher the maximum applicable temperature. The viscosity grades for winter oils are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The letter W stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the minimum applicable temperature.
