How to Read the Oil Dipstick on a Nissan?
1 Answers
Nissan's method for checking the oil dipstick: When the dipstick is pulled out from the engine, there are two circles at the lower end indicating the upper and lower limits of the oil level. Simply ensure that the detected oil level falls between these two marks. The specific steps for checking the oil dipstick on a Nissan are as follows: 1. Locate the oil dipstick. The dipstick is usually positioned near the engine, either on top or on the side. It is easily identifiable by its distinct pull ring. 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 the car or the engine is running, this method won't be accurate. 3. Clean off the oil residue. After pulling out the dipstick for the first time, wipe it clean with a tissue before reinserting it. 4. Pull out the dipstick a second time and observe the oil level on the stick. 5. If the oil level is between the upper and lower limits, it indicates a normal oil quantity. The upper and lower limits are usually marked with clear scales for easy identification.
