Matters needing attention
1. Time: the engine oil has not completely flowed back to the oil pan when the engine is just turned off. At this time, it is not accurate to check the oil dipstick. You should wait for a period of time (recommended 15 minutes) before checking.
2. Location: when checking the oil dipstick, make sure that the four tires of the car are on the same level, and make sure that there is no inclination at the front, back and left, or the oil level in the oil pan will change, resulting in the deviation of the measurement result.
3. The meaning of oil dipstick scale: the conventional oil dipstick has obvious upper and lower limit, as long as the detected oil level is between the upper and lower. If it can be in the middle, of course, it's best. It should be noted that the more the engine oil is, the better the oil level is. In fact, the more resistance the engine has (because the crankshaft needs to constantly stir the oil pan oil to realize splash lubrication). Ideally, the liquid level can be kept a little lower than the middle position. At this time, the minimum resistance of the engine is the lowest oil consumption, and the lubrication performance can also be kept stable.
