How to Check if Engine Oil Level is Increasing?
1 Answers
Methods to check if engine oil level is increasing: 1. Before inspection, park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine and let it sit for more than 10 minutes to ensure oil in the pipelines flows back. If the vehicle has been parked overnight, warm up the engine before checking; 2. Open the front hood of the car, usually the oil tank is near the engine, locate the oil dipstick on the oil tank; 3. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it dry, reinsert it, then pull it out again to check the oil level. The oil level is normal if it's between the two warning marks. If it's at the lowest position, it indicates the need to add the same brand and type of engine oil. If it's above the highest mark, it means the oil level has increased.
