Using the car oil dipstick to check engine oil: Park the car and turn off the engine, wait for about 10 minutes, pull out the oil dipstick and use a tissue to completely wipe off the oil stuck to the dipstick head. Then reinsert the cleaned dipstick all the way in and pull it out again. If the oil level is between the upper and lower marks, it indicates the engine oil quantity is appropriate. If it is below the lower mark, you need to add more oil. When the car's engine oil exceeds the upper limit, it can easily lead to increased carbon deposits. Conversely, when the oil level reaches the lower mark on the dipstick, it may cause engine misfire issues.
