How to Check the Engine Oil in Your Car?

Method for checking engine oil: Locate the dipstick handle in the engine compartment and prepare a tissue. Then pull out the dipstick and use the tissue to completely wipe off the oil stuck to the dipstick head. Reinsert the cleaned dipstick all the way back in, then pull it out again. This time, the oil adhering to the end of the dipstick can be used for observation. Here is some related information about engine oil: 1. Oil Classification: There are 4 types of summer oils, 6 types of winter oils, and 16 types of all-season oils. The grades for summer oils are: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity and the higher the maximum applicable temperature. 2. Winter Oil Grades: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The symbol 'W' stands for Winter. The smaller the number before 'W', the lower the low-temperature viscosity and the better the low-temperature fluidity, meaning it is suitable for lower minimum temperatures.
