The method to check the oil dipstick on the Song: Do not check while the car is running. Park the car securely, engage the handbrake, start the engine, and wait until it reaches normal operating temperature. Then turn off the engine and wait a few minutes to allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan. At this point, remove the oil dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then remove it again to check the oil level. The Song is a mid-size SUV under BYD, with dimensions of 4565mm in length, 1830mm in width, 1703mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2660mm. The BYD Song features an X-shaped front grille for a sporty look, while the side profile incorporates hidden A, B, and C pillars to create a floating roof visual effect.
Checking the oil dipstick is actually quite simple. I've been doing it myself for eight years of driving. First, park the car on level ground and turn off the engine, then wait 5 minutes for the oil to flow back to the oil pan. Open the engine hood and look for the rod with a yellow ring handle - that's the dipstick. Pull it out and wipe it clean with a tissue. Reinsert it fully into the engine, then pull it out again to check the scale. The oil mark should be between the MIN and MAX indicators. Remember not to check on a slope - when I first bought my car, I measured it on an incline and got a falsely low oil level reading. Also pay attention to the oil color - if it's black, it's time for a change.
