Here are the steps to check your vehicle's engine oil:
Park on a level surface: Make sure your vehicle is parked on a flat, level surface and turned off for at least 10 minutes before checking the oil.
Locate the dipstick: The oil dipstick is usually located near the engine and has a brightly colored handle that says "oil" or "engine oil".
Pull out the dipstick: Grasp the handle and pull the dipstick out of the engine. Wipe the dipstick clean with a rag or paper towel.
Check the oil level: Reinsert the dipstick back into the engine, then pull it out again. Check the oil level by looking at the end of the dipstick. The oil level should be between the two marks on the dipstick. If it's low, add more oil until it reaches the appropriate level.
Check the oil condition: In addition to checking the level, you can also check the condition of the oil. Rub a small amount of oil between your fingers. If it feels gritty or has visible particles, it may be time for an oil change.
Remember to check your vehicle's engine oil regularly, ideally once a month or before long trips, to ensure your engine is properly lubricated and running smoothly.
