How to Read the Nissan Oil Dipstick?
1 Answers
Nissan's method for checking the oil dipstick is as follows: 1. Locate the oil dipstick. The oil dipstick is usually located near the engine, either on top or on the side. It has a distinctive feature—a pull ring—making it easy to identify. 2. Pull out the oil dipstick. Note that checking the oil level must be done when the vehicle is cool. If you've just driven or the engine is running, the reading will be inaccurate. 3. Clean the dipstick. After pulling it out the first time, wipe it clean with a tissue, then reinsert it. 4. Pull out the oil dipstick a second time and check the oil level on the dipstick. 5. If the oil level is between the upper and lower limits, it indicates the oil level is normal. The upper and lower limits are usually marked with clear indicators.
