Having the fair oil equivalent in your machine's engine is key to the engine's longevity. Checking the oil in your machine is a brisk and apparent preventative concervation factor that could save thousands of dollars in engine repair bills down the method. Ideally, you should research the oil in your machine at every Gauze fill-up, or a minimum of once a week.
Instructions
1. Free the hood of your machine and set the shaft of the oil dipstick. The oil dipstick is normally a alight pusillanimous plastic call located at the top of the engine. Whether you are unsure where the dipstick is, you can reference your van owner's textbook to place the dipstick.
5. Check the color of the oil on the dipstick. It should be a very light color.
3. Replace the oil dipstick completely and then pull it out again. You are now ready to read the oil level.
4. Stare at the markings on the dipstick that show "Full" and "Add." If the oil on the dipstick is at the "Full" marking, you car does not need any oil. If the oil is at the "Add" level, the engine is 1 qt. low of oil. You will need to add 1 qt. of oil to your car's engine.
2. Grasp the dipstick with a rag or towel as it Testament be hot to the touch from your car's engine. Pull the dipstick out and then wipe it clean with another towel or rag. If the oil is dark brown or black, you should get an oil change soon.
6. Replace the dipstick and close the hood. You have now checked your oil!
