1. Ensure the car is parked on level ground and, if necessary, have the engine running for a couple of minutes before you check the oil. If you've just driven your car, wait for 5-10 minutes before you check your oil level, or check it the next time you use the car.
2. Open the car's bonnet and locate the oil dipstick. Usually it has a bright handle saying "Engine Oil" or so, but if you can't locate it contact your mechanic or check your car's manual.
3. Pull the dipstick out from the engine and wipe off any oil from its end with a lint-free rag or paper towel.
4. Then, reinsert the clean dipstick all the way back into its tube, and pull it out again to check the oil.
5. You can now read the oil level by looking to see where the oily part ends and the dry part begins. The dipstick will have some form of mark, usually a line or a dot, which indicates the correct level of oil. If the top of the oil streak is between the two marks, the level is fine. If it's below the bottom mark, you need to add oil.
6. Also pay attention to the color of the oil. New oil is amber in color, used oil is darker but you should still be able to see through it. If the oil on the dipstick is dark and dirty, you probably need an oil change.
Remember, never overfill your engine oil, as this can damage your engine. Add a little oil at a time and recheck to avoid overfilling.
