First off, we should tell you that a lot of newer vehicles in Ammon don’t use the traditional dipstick method. Instead, they use an electric oil monitor, so if you’ve got a vehicle like this, the following information doesn’t apply to you; your job is as simple as clicking through your vehicle’s menu. If you’ve got the manual dipstick, however, here’s how you go about this task:
Dipsticks always have some way of showing you what oil level is right. If the top of your oil streak is between two marks or within a cross-hatched area, your oil level is good. If it isn’t, it’s time to add more oil. Be sure to buy the grade recommended in the owner’s manual, remove the oil filter cap, then add oil a little bit at a time, checking frequently until you get within the recommended area.
Knowing how to check the oil level in your car is only part of the story. Why should you do it in the first place? Generally, you’ll want to get your oil changed at least twice a year, and that’s if you put 0 miles on the vehicle. Oil checks should be performed once a month because problems with your car’s oil is an effective predictor of more major problems down the line. Put simply: checking your car’s oil level is basically like a check-up for your car.
