To check the oil dipstick on a 2016 New Bora: First, locate the oil dipstick, pull it out, and wipe off any oil residue with a clean tissue. Then reinsert the dipstick fully, pull it out again, and check the oil level reading on the dipstick. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks. The 2016 New Bora measures 4562mm in length, 1793mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2614mm. While the dimensions have increased compared to the previous generation, the interior layout has been optimized, resulting in a significant improvement in actual passenger space. The front and rear legroom has been increased by 20mm.
Checking the oil dipstick is actually quite simple, especially for beginners. When I first started driving, I was worried about doing it wrong, but I got the hang of it later. First, park the car on level ground, turn off the engine, and wait five to ten minutes to let the oil in the engine flow back into the oil pan—otherwise, the reading won't be accurate. Then, open the hood and locate the small yellow or orange pull ring—that's the oil dipstick. Pull it out slowly, never too quickly, and thoroughly wipe off the oil stains on the dipstick with a clean cloth or paper. After wiping it clean, fully reinsert the dipstick back into its place, wait a few seconds, and then gently pull it out again. Carefully observe the oil level line—it should be between the two marked lines (minimum and maximum) on the dipstick. If it's in the middle, it's fine. If it's too low, you need to add the same type of oil; otherwise, the engine may overheat and wear out. If it's too high, that's also a problem, as it can cause oil leaks. Check it every time before an oil change or a long trip to avoid small issues turning into major repairs.
