If the vehicle is in motion, first park the car, turn off the engine, and wait for about 10 minutes to allow the oil to fully return to the oil pan. Pull out the dipstick, wipe off the original oil traces with a clean cloth, and then reinsert the dipstick all the way to the bottom. After a few seconds, pull out the dipstick again to get an accurate oil level reading. There are upper and lower limit marks at the end of the dipstick. Observe the portion wetted by oil—if it falls between the upper and lower limits, the oil level is correct. If the level is above the upper limit, it indicates too much oil; if below the lower limit, it means insufficient oil and requires appropriate topping up.

What Causes Black Smoke During Cold Start?

The reason for black smoke during cold start is: incomplete combustion during engine operation, overly rich air-fuel mixture, meaning the excess air coefficient in the cylinder is too small. Some fuel decomposes into free carbon under high temperature and is expelled from the exhaust pipe, forming black smoke. Precautions for cold start are: 1. The idling warm-up time should not be too long, 30 seconds to 1 minute is sufficient; 2. Before cold start, keep the vehicle in the powered-on state for a few seconds to allow the control system to complete self-check and the fuel pump to establish normal working pressure; 3. Avoid high-speed driving. Drive normally only after the transmission system, steering system, brake system, and differential suspension reach their normal operating temperatures.

Engine temperature being too low. Precautions for cold start-up include: 1. Avoid prolonged idling to warm up the engine as components are not fully lubricated and the engine hasn't reached optimal operating temperature; 2. The fuel injector automatically increases fuel injection to raise RPM, normal driving can commence once the engine reaches proper operating temperature.
