Learn How To Change Your Oil From Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood, serving the mountain state and Denver Metro Area
- Open hood and find the dipstick. It's near the engine; usually with bright colored handle.
- Pull dipstick out, wipe the metal section clean with a rag, and then carefully re-insert and remove it.
- Your oil level is the highest point on the dipstick that is covered in oil.
- If oil level is between "MIN" and "MAX" you don't need to add oil, and you can replace the dipstick.
- If the oil level is at or below "MIN", you need to add oil now.
- Find the oil fill location; it may have an icon on it. Remove the fill cap and place the small end of the funnel into the fill hole.
- Add oil pouring roughly a quarter of the container at a time, waiting a minute for the oil to drain into the pan, the repeat steps 2 and 3 each time. Stop adding oil when the dipstick shows oil at or just below the "MAX" fill line.
- Remove the funnel and replace the dipstick and oil fill cap. Make sure both are fully secured in place.
