How to Check the Engine Oil Level of a 2019 XC60?
2 Answers
The engine oil level of the 2019 XC60 can be directly checked through the car's dashboard. The 2019 XC60 has eliminated the traditional engine oil dipstick, allowing you to check the remaining engine oil directly through the car's computer. The following points should be noted when measuring the engine oil level: 1. If you are using an engine oil dipstick to measure the oil level, the car should be kept on a level surface. It is best not to place it on a slope, as a level surface will provide more accurate results. 2. It is important to ensure that the engine oil level is within the reasonable range. Overfilling the engine oil can affect the normal operation of the crankshaft, not only increasing the car's fuel consumption but also potentially impairing the engine's performance.
As a hands-on car owner, I always use the electronic system to check the oil level of my XC60—it's effortless and clean. After parking and turning off the engine, I wait about 10 minutes for the oil to settle. Then, I turn the key to the second position without starting the engine. Using the directional buttons on the steering wheel, I navigate left and right to find the 'Car Settings' in the main menu, select the 'Oil Level' option, and the screen displays the status (high or low). If the oil level is low, I first check if the oil cap is loose, then add a small amount of the recommended oil, being careful not to overfill. I recommend checking monthly, especially after long trips, to prevent excessive engine wear and major issues. This electronic method is much more convenient than the old dipstick—no need to pop the hood, and beginners can master it after a couple of tries. It saves money on mechanic visits and is eco-friendly too. Always use the manufacturer-recommended oil for accuracy, ensuring your engine lasts longer.
