How to Check the Oil Dipstick on a Civic?
1 Answers
Method for checking the oil dipstick on a Civic: 1. Locate the position of the oil dipstick, and ensure the vehicle is cooled down before checking the oil level; 2. If the oil level is between the upper and lower limits, it indicates the oil quantity is normal. The engine lubrication system generally includes a lubricant storage system, lubricant distribution system, and lubricant indication system. In automobiles, the dipstick is a commonly used control ruler for checking the lubricant level. Due to the curved path of the dipstick insertion hole, the dipstick must be able to deform upon insertion and rebound to its original shape when pulled out. It is important to note that more oil is not necessarily better; in fact, the higher the oil level, the greater the resistance the engine will face.
