How to Check the Oil Level in a Volkswagen Phideon?

Locate the yellow oil dipstick position above the engine. Hold the top of the dipstick with your hand and pull it straight upward without bending it. Use a clean towel to wipe off the oil from both sides of the dipstick. Then reinsert it fully into the engine and pull it out again. Check if the oil level is between the upper and lower limits marked at the bottom of the dipstick. If it is, the level is appropriate. If above the upper limit, there's too much oil; if below the lower limit, there's too little oil.

Last time I checked the oil, I was quite worried too. First, park your car on level ground, turn off the engine, and wait about ten minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan. After the engine cools down, open the hood and locate the dipstick with the yellow ring. Pull it out, wipe it clean with a paper towel, reinsert it all the way, then pull it out again to check the oil level. The oil mark should be between the MIN and MAX lines. If it's low, top it up with the same type of oil, but be careful not to overfill—exceeding the MAX line can actually harm the engine. I recommend checking it once a month, especially before long trips. I always keep a small bottle of the original manufacturer's oil in my car for quick top-ups.
