Learn How To Change Your Oil From Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood, serving the mountain state and Denver Metro Area

  1. Open hood and find the dipstick. It's near the engine; usually with bright colored handle.
  2. Pull dipstick out, wipe the metal section clean with a rag, and then carefully  re-insert and remove it.
  3. Your oil  level is the highest point on the dipstick that is covered in oil.
  4. If oil level is between "MIN" and "MAX" you don't need to add oil, and you can replace the dipstick.
  5. If the oil level is at or below "MIN", you need to add oil now.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Remove the funnel and replace the dipstick and  oil fill cap.  Make sure both are fully secured in place.
