How to Read a Car's Oil Dipstick?

[MacLeonardo]

Here is the method to read a car engine's oil dipstick: 1. Pull out the oil dipstick and use a tissue to completely wipe off the oil stuck to the dipstick head. 2. Reinsert the cleaned dipstick all the way in, then pull it out again. 3. Observe the position of the oil stuck on the dipstick. 4. If the oil level is between the upper and lower marks, it indicates the engine oil quantity is appropriate. If it's below the lower mark, you need to add oil. The following conditions are required for reading the dipstick: 1. The engine oil temperature must not be below 60 degrees; 2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, turn off the engine, and wait for three minutes to allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan. Then you can start checking the oil level.
