What is the normal oil dipstick level?

It is recommended to fill the engine oil between the upper and lower marks, which is the most appropriate. It is acceptable to fill the engine oil up to the upper limit of the dipstick, but it should not exceed the maximum mark. First, pay attention to the prerequisites for checking the dipstick, which is the standard for inspection. Do not check when the car is running; secondly, during the inspection process, park the car properly, engage the handbrake, and ensure that all four wheels of the car are on the same horizontal level. If the car body is tilted, the oil level in the engine oil pan will change, leading to inaccurate measurement results. 1. First, locate the dipstick handle in the engine compartment and prepare a piece of tissue paper. 2. Then pull out the dipstick and use the tissue paper to wipe off as much oil as possible from the dipstick head. At this point, observe the position of the oil mark on the dipstick (usually marked with MIN and MAX). 3. Reinsert the cleaned dipstick back into place, making sure it is fully inserted, then pull it out again. The oil stuck to the very end of the dipstick can now be used for inspection. 4. Observe the engine oil stuck on the dipstick to determine the highest point of the oil in the engine. If the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks, this is the most ideal position, indicating that the amount of lubricating oil in the engine is just right.
