Where to Add Engine Oil to a Car?

Engine oil is added from the oil filler port on the left side of the engine. To perform operations such as changing the oil, simply unscrew the oil filler cap in the reverse direction. When reinstalling the oil filler cap, lubricate the cap opening with oil from the dipstick, then smoothly tighten it in the clockwise direction until it is securely in place. Basic steps for adding engine oil: 1. After the car is parked and the engine is turned off for about ten minutes, pull out the dipstick and wipe the oil traces clean with a cloth. 2. Reinsert the dipstick into the dipstick tube, then pull it out again to check the oil traces. Normally, the oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick, slightly above the middle line. 3. If the oil level is below the lower mark, it indicates insufficient oil, and you should add oil immediately. While adding oil, continuously pull out the dipstick to monitor the oil level. 4. When topping up the oil, try to use the same type of oil as the one already in the engine to avoid mixing different brands or grades of oil.
