Car engine oil dipstick is located on the engine cover, usually with an orange or red handle. How to use the oil dipstick: 1. The oil dipstick is used to measure oil level. 2. After pulling out the dipstick, wipe off the oil with a tissue and reinsert it. 3. After pulling it out again, you can check the oil level - as long as it's within the marked range, it's normal. Below are precautions after adding oil: 1. After adding oil, start the vehicle first, then check the oil level 3 minutes after turning off the engine. 2. When changing oil, the oil filter should also be replaced as the new filter contains no oil initially. 3. After starting the vehicle, oil will flow into the oil filter. Waiting 3 minutes after turning off allows oil to drain back to the oil pan, making the measurement more accurate.
