How to Measure Engine Oil Level?

[Kathleen]

Measuring the engine oil level is done as follows: 1. Park the car on a level surface. 2. Turn off the engine. 3. Wait for more than half an hour. 4. Pull out the dipstick. 5. Check the oil level. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Generally, when the engine is cold, the oil level should be above three-quarters of the way between the upper and lower marks. When the engine is hot, the oil level should be above halfway between the upper and lower marks, indicating sufficient oil. 2. High engine temperature can lead to carbon deposits. When carbon particles accumulate, they can grow larger, directly wearing down the engine. Severe engine damages such as stuck rings or cylinder scoring often result from using oil with poor cleaning capabilities.
