Methods to check how much engine oil is left in the car: 1. Park the car on a level surface, wait for the engine to cool down, then open the front hood to inspect the engine oil; 2. Locate the oil dipstick, pull it out, and wipe it clean the first time; 3. Reinsert and pull out the oil dipstick again, observe the oil level on the dipstick. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. If it's too high, drain some oil; if it's too low, add some oil. Engine oil 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, and its main functions are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts and to remove sludge and varnish from the engine.
