Where is the standard position of the oil dipstick?
1 Answers
The standard position of the oil dipstick is in the middle between the upper and lower marks, meaning it should not exceed the upper limit nor fall below the lower limit. The specific steps to correctly check the car oil dipstick are as follows: 1. Open the driver's side door. 2. Pull the hood release lever located on the left side of the driver's leg area. 3. Lift the engine hood upwards. 4. Use the support rod to secure the engine hood in place, ensuring it is firmly supported to avoid any hazards during the operation. 5. Insert the oil dipstick for the first time, then pull it out and wipe it clean. 6. After wiping the oil dipstick clean, reinsert it and pull it out again. The oil mark should be between the upper and lower limits. Too much or too little oil can adversely affect the engine.
