How do you read the oil dipstick?

The oil dipstick, a simple fluid level gauge, is a key tool for us to judge whether the engine oil stock is reasonable. It is marked with an upper limit and a lower limit, which respectively represent the safe range of engine oil volume.

When the oil level stays between these two marks, it means that the amount of oil is adequate and the car can run normally. However, if the oil level exceeds the upper limit, it may aggravate the carbon deposit problem; if the oil level drops below the lower limit, the engine may be short of cylinders, which will affect the overall life of the engine in the long run. Therefore, regularly using the oil dipstick to check the amount of engine oil is an important part of keeping your car running healthily.
