Inspection Method of Engine Oil Level
Check engine oil level by oil gauge: 1. Park the
vehicle on the horizontal ground.
2. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine
temperature reaches its normal working
temperature (about 5 minutes).
3. Turn off the engine and wait for at least 5
minutes for the engine oil to flow back to the oil
pan.
4 Pull out the oil gauge, wipe off the oil mark on
the gauge with a clean cloth, and insert the oil
gauge again to the end.

Engine operation will consume a certain amount
of oil, oil consumption depends on driving mode
and vehicle operating conditions. Therefore, it is
necessary to check the oil level regularly, and it
is better to check the oil level after each injection
and before long-distance driving.
In summer, when vehicles travel long distances
on expressways, tractor trailers, or in
mountainous areas, the oil level should not
exceed the upper limit mark A when the engine
is running under such harsh conditions.
Engine oil supplement
1. Parking the vehicle on the horizontal ground.
2. Open the engine hatch. 3. Pad a cloth around
the filling port to prevent oil dropping onto the
engine 4. Turn the oil filling cover on
counterclockwise 5. In order to avoid excessive
oil filling, add a small amount of oil several times,
each time should be injected with a small amount
of oil and check the oil level.
