How to Determine if the Engine Has Oil?
2 Answers
Engine internal oil level height can be observed by checking the oil dipstick scale range. Park the car on a flat surface, turn off the engine, wait for 5-10 minutes, then pull out the oil dipstick to observe. Below is some relevant information about the engine:1. Physical Conversion: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc.2. Engine Displacement: Engine displacement is the total working volume of all cylinders in the engine, usually expressed in liters (L). The working volume of a cylinder refers to the gas volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement, which depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke.
Last time when I went for car repair, the mechanic taught me a very practical method: find that yellow oil dipstick, pull it out completely and wipe it clean, then reinsert it. After pulling it out again, check the oil level. The oil mark should be slightly above the minimum line; if it's below the minimum line, it means the oil is insufficient. Pay special attention to the oil color - if it's pure black with impurities, change the oil immediately. Never ignore the oil warning light; I've seen several engines seized due to negligence. Now I've developed a habit of checking it every month, especially before long trips. It's also best to control the oil change cycle between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers.
