How to check your engine oil

Checking your engine oil is a simple job, don't wait for your oil level light to come on!

With your car parked on level ground, warm your engine up to operating temperature, then stop the engine long enough for the oil level to settle for a few minutes

Remove dipstick again and read oil level- ideally the level should be between the minimum and maximum markers.


If the oil level is close to or below the minimum marker then your oil needs topping up


Top ups must be with the correct grade of engine oil for your vehicle. If you are in any doubt as to which oil to use please drop by and we'll be happy to help you.
