When the vehicle is hot, oil can splash and the dipstick reading may be inaccurate.<\/p>\n<p>The correct time is after the engine is turned off and the vehicle has stood for 15 minutes. Then you can check the dipstick. If you need to check often, you can also check it in the morning before starting the vehicle, because the oil level is accurate at that time as well.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"oil-check-where-title-27463\" class=\"ag-block\" id=\"oil-check-where-27463\">\n<div class=\"ag-section-header\">\n          <span class=\"ag-section-kicker\">Parking position<\/span><br \/>\n          <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ag-section-line\"><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n<article class=\"ag-richtext\">\n<p class=\"ag-eyebrow\">Where to check the oil<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ag-heading\" id=\"oil-check-where-title-27463\">Park on a Level Surface<\/h2>\n<p>You do not want to stop on a ramp to check your oil. When checking the oil dipstick, make sure that all four car wheels are parked at the same level. In other words, there should not be any front-to-rear tilt.<\/p>\n<p>Once the body is tilted, the oil level in the oil pan changes, and the measurement will not be accurate. A simple way to judge whether the car is parked properly is to let it idle without pulling the handbrake. If the car can stop and not move, it is basically horizontal. Left and right tilt should also be avoided as much as possible.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"oil-check-dipstick-title-27463\" class=\"ag-block\" id=\"oil-check-dipstick-27463\">\n<div class=\"ag-section-header\">\n          <span class=\"ag-section-kicker\">Dipstick reading<\/span><br \/>\n          <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ag-section-line\"><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n<article class=\"ag-richtext\">\n<p class=\"ag-eyebrow\">Teach you to read the oil dipstick<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ag-heading\" id=\"oil-check-dipstick-title-27463\">Understand the Dipstick Markings<\/h2>\n<p>The function of the dipstick is to measure the height of the static oil level, reflecting whether the engine oil stock is within a reasonable range.<\/p>\n<p>Conventional dipsticks have clear upper and lower limits.
