Engine Oil and Filter
Checking
Check the engine oil a couple of minutes after shutting the engine
off, with the car parked on level ground. Remove the dipstick and
wipe it clean. Re-insert it all the way down, then pull it out and read
the level. The level should be between the upper and lower marks.
