How to Correctly Measure Engine Oil Level?

[EmilyRose]

Correct steps to measure engine oil level: 1. Park the car on level ground; 2. Turn off the engine; 3. Wait for more than one hour; 4. Pull out the dipstick; 5. Check the oil level. Generally speaking, when the engine is cold, the oil level should be above three-quarters between the upper and lower marks, and when the engine is hot, the oil level should be above half between the upper and lower marks, which means the oil quantity is sufficient. If the engine temperature is too high, carbon deposits will form, and the carbon particles will gather together and become larger, directly wearing the engine. Serious engine damages such as stuck rings and cylinder scoring are often caused by using engine oil with poor cleaning capability.
