Where is the oil dipstick on the JMC Shunda?

Introduction to the location of the oil dipstick on the JMC Shunda: The oil dipstick is located at the front of the engine, clearly visible as a rod inserted into the front of the engine. Other precautions for adding engine oil: 1. Higher viscosity oil does not necessarily provide better engine protection: High-viscosity oil not only negatively impacts overall fuel consumption but also fails to protect the engine effectively. Another function of engine oil is cooling and heat dissipation. Blindly using high-viscosity oil will inevitably reduce the engine's oil cooling performance. 2. Engine oils should not be mixed: The additive components in oils from different manufacturers are completely different. The chemical compositions of these additives vary not only between brands but can also differ significantly even within the same brand's different product lines. Mixing oils from two brands can cause chemical reactions under the engine's high temperatures, such as the formation of flocculent substances in the oil or an increase in viscosity.
Finding the oil dipstick of the Jiangling Transit is actually not difficult. With years of driving experience, I remember it's usually located on the side near the driver's seat inside the engine compartment. Open the hood, and you'll spot a yellow plastic ring or metal rod inserted on top of the engine—that's the oil dipstick. To check, park the car on level ground and turn off the engine. Wait for the engine to cool, then pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and pull it out again to see if the oil level is between the min and max marks. If it's too low, add oil promptly, making sure to choose the right specification, such as 5W-30. Regular checks can prevent engine overheating and damage—after all, oil is the heart of the engine. Once, I forgot to check and ended up with an oil leak, costing me a lot in repairs. That's why developing a good habit of monthly inspections is crucial.
