How to Read the Oil Dipstick on Wuling Zhiguang?
1 Answers
Introduction to reading the oil dipstick on Wuling Zhiguang: Unscrew the oil dipstick of the Wuling Zhiguang, wipe it clean with a soft cloth, then reinsert and remove it. There is an upper limit and a lower limit at the end of the dipstick. If the oil level is between these two marks, the oil quantity is just right. If the oil does not reach the lower limit, it means the oil is insufficient. If the oil level exceeds the upper limit, it indicates overfilling. Below is some related information about the oil dipstick: 1. The function of the oil dipstick is to measure the static oil level height, reflecting whether the engine oil level is within a reasonable range. Standard dipsticks have clear upper and lower limits; as long as the measured oil level is between these marks, it is acceptable. 2. More oil is not necessarily better. A higher oil level actually increases engine resistance because the crankshaft continuously agitates the oil in the oil pan for splash lubrication. Ideally, the oil level should be slightly below the middle mark, where engine resistance and fuel consumption are minimized while maintaining stable lubrication performance. 3. When checking the oil dipstick, ensure that all four wheels of the car are on the same level ground, meaning there should be no tilt in any direction. This is because any tilt in the car body will change the oil level in the oil pan, leading to inaccurate measurements.
