1, the general oil tank in the engine near, find the oil tank above the oil scale. Just turn off the engine, within 5 minutes, look at the dipstick is not allowed, the reason is that the oil has not yet completely flowed back to the oil sump.

If you have just finished adding oil, start the engine and run it for 1 minute, then turn off the engine and later pull out the dipstick to check the height of the page, and find that it is not enough to add a little more. But it is worth noting that, in fact, from the engine off to he pulled out the dipstick is often less than 5 minutes, in this case, the oil did not completely flow back to the oil pan, so the measurement of the level are on the low side.

The correct time is: after the engine is turned off, let it sit for 15 minutes and then check the dipstick, if it is often need to check the words, you can start the vehicle in the morning before checking the height of the oil level at this time is also accurate.

2. When pulling out the dipstick, the car's arm training stops on level ground and the engine is measured in a static condition.

3, the following picture is pulled out of the dipstick, first pull out the dipstick, it has a concave and convex place at the end of the concave lattice and up and down the horizontal line, which is to see the line of the oil level. The first time you pull it out first foam clean oil, then insert and pull it out again, as long as the oil is within the upper and lower lines of the lattice is qualified, higher than the upper line is more, lower than the lower line is less.

Dipstick

In the car, the dipstick is used to see the lubricant hole stock of a common control scale, because the dipstick insertion hole there is a curved path, thus requiring the dipstick insertion deformation can be in the pull out of the rebound recovery.

Engine lubrication system generally includes lubricating oil storage system, lubricating oil distribution system lubricating oil indicator system, etc., in the "transport category aircraft airworthiness standards" requires that the lubricating oil indicator must have a dipstick or equivalent device to indicate the amount of lubricating oil in each lubricating oil tank. The dipstick is a simple level gauge that directly indicates the level of the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil tank.

The role of the dipstick is not only to check the engine lubricant oil level, experienced driving or repair personnel by checking the dipstick, can find a lot of engine work dynamics; thus, the engine maintenance, timely discovery of faults, accidents, to avoid further deterioration of the fault, etc., can quickly respond to get the correct judgment, provides a reliable basis. It can be said that the use of oil ruler good or bad, to extend the service life of the engine, play a vital role.
