How to check the engine oil in your car
Checking the engine oil periodically is one of the most important measures that preserve the performance of your car and the life of its engine. This check helps ensure that the oil level is appropriate, and that the oil itself is in good condition. Here are simple steps to check engine oil yourself:
1. Make sure the engine is cold
Before starting to check the oil, make sure the engine is cold. If you have recently used the car, it is best to stop it and wait about 10 minutes for the engine to cool down. This is because checking the oil in a hot engine may result in inaccurate measurements and may expose you to the risk of burns.
2. Open the hood and find the oil dipstick
After making sure the engine is cold, open the hood and find the oil dipstick. An oil dipstick is a long stick with markings that determine oil levels. The scale often has a colored handle (usually yellow or orange) to make it easier to find.
3. Pull out the scale and clean it
Pull the oil dipstick all the way out and use a clean rag or paper towel to wipe the old oil off the stick. This step is necessary to get an accurate reading.
4. Put the scale back and pull it out again
After cleaning the gauge, put it completely back in its tube, then pull it out again slowly. You will notice that the oil has covered part of the scale. Make sure the oil level falls between the two designated marks on the stick, usually a “low” mark and a “full” mark.
5. Oil level analysis
If the oil level is between the two marks, this means that the engine has sufficient oil. If it is less than the minimum mark, this means that you have to add oil. A low oil level may indicate a leak or excessive oil burning, and should be treated quickly to avoid damage to the engine.
6. Add oil if necessary
If you find that the oil level is lower than the required limit, add a suitable engine oil for your car. Be sure to use the oil recommended by the manufacturer, which can be found in your vehicle's owner's manual. When adding oil, pour slowly and check the scale frequently to avoid adding too much.
