How to check the Engine oil?
Place your car at a level surface and engage the parking brake. Start the
engine. Set transmission shifter in "P" (Park) position, and let the engine
idle (on some cars this procedure may be different, check the owners' manual
for details). Pull the engine dipstick. Check your owners manual to find
where engine dipstick is located in your car. |
Wipe it off with a clean lint free rag. Then insert it back carefully all
the way down into its place. |
Pull again and check the fluid level. If the engine is cold, it should be
within "COLD" marks. If the car was driven and is fully warmed up, the level
should be at the upper end of the "HOT" mark. If it's just a little bit
lower I wouldn't worry about it. Otherwise I'd top it up. Check the fluid
condition also: If it's too black and dirty with burnt smell - your
transmission is not going to last. Normally it should be clean and
transparent, as in the image. The new fluid comes red. Over the time it
becomes brownish. If it is brown, check your owner's manual, may be it's
time to change it. Some manufacturers require to change the transmission
fluid at 30,000 or 50,000 miles others specify that you never have to change
it - check what's your car owner's manual says. |
How to top up the transmission fluid:
It's very important to use only specified transmission fluid - check your owners
manual or simply visit your local dealer, they always have proper transmission
fluid in stock. Incorrect transmission fluid can even destroy the transmission.
Add a small amount of the fluid through the dipstick pipe as shown in the image.
Wait for a few minutes - let the fluid to flow down. Recheck the level again. Do
not overfill, it also may cause problems with your transmission.
