Making sure you have the right amount of oil in your car is an essential part of maintaining your engine; it’s perhaps the most important chemical you pour in your car. Checking your oil level is easy for any driver to do, and keeping an eye on it whether you’re sticking to the streets in Petoskey or headed out to the hills can keep your vehicle running for much longer.
The first step for any driver when checking their vehicle’s oil level and condition is to consult their owner’s manual, just like rotating your own tires. This is because some newer vehicles use electronic oil monitors and not dipsticks. If your car, van, truck, or SUV uses the latter, the process is simple:
If you notice the oil level between the two marks or cross hatched area on the dipstick, you’re where you need to be. If it isn’t, you’ll need to add more.
Always use recommended-grade oil as listed in your owner’s manual. Usually, if you need to add more oil, you’ll need to remove the oil filler cap before putting more in your engine.
