Generally, it should be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. There are two key points to note when adding engine oil: 1. When selecting engine oil: It is essential to strictly follow the oil grade specified in the car's user manual. If the same grade is unavailable, a higher-grade oil can be used, but never substitute with a lower-grade oil. 2. When adding oil: The amount of oil added should be slightly below the standard mark. Excessive oil increases the crankshaft's rotational resistance, reduces the engine's output power, and can cause the oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emission, and increased fuel consumption.
