The correct method for measuring engine oil is: When checking the oil level, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, then pull it out again to check the oil level. If the oil level is between the two marks on the dipstick, it indicates the oil level is normal. Precautions for checking engine oil: 1. Generally, wait for about 15 minutes after turning off the engine to allow the oil to stabilize before checking; 2. When checking the oil level, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface to maintain an accurate reading; 3. The first time you pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then pull it out again to check the oil level to ensure an accurate and clear reading. Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in a base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers.
