Operating Instructions (Checking Engine Oil Level)

Regularly checking your engine oil level is vital for vehicle maintenance. Follow these steps for an accurate reading:

1. จอดรถบนพื้นราบ: Ensure your vehicle is parked on a flat, level surface to get an accurate oil level reading.
2. อุณหภูมิเครื่องยนต์: For most accurate readings, check the oil when the engine is warm but has been turned off for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows oil to drain back into the oil pan. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations.
3. ถอดก้านวัดระดับน้ำมันเครื่อง: Pull the dipstick out completely.
4. เช็ดทำความสะอาด: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe all oil from the dipstick.
5. ใส่ก้านวัดระดับน้ำมันเครื่องกลับเข้าไป: Fully reinsert the clean dipstick into its tube until it is completely seated.
6. แกะออกและอ่าน: Pull the dipstick out again and observe the oil level. The oil film should be between the "ADD" (or "LOW") and "FULL" (or "MAX") marks on the dipstick.
7. เติมน้ำมันหากจำเป็น: If the oil level is below the "ADD" mark, add the recommended type and amount of engine oil as specified in your vehicle's owner's manual. Add oil gradually and recheck the level.
8. ใส่ก้านวัดระดับน้ำมันเครื่องกลับเข้าไป: Once the oil level is correct, fully reinsert the dipstick.
