DONT START CAR CHECK OIL WHEN ENGINE IS 100% COLD.
Should I measure it on cold or hot engine?
Just found your channel and subscribed to it! The most accurate way to check the level is to let the car sit overnight and check? Am I wrong?
A lot of time the filter and oil passages will drain down over night causing the oil level to read higher on the dipstick. Most manufacturers have you run the engine and let it sit for a certain amount of time. Normally between 3 and 10 minutes. Nissan v6 engines require sitting for over 10 minutes in order to read properly.
What is the oil is just over the top hole is it too full?
It should be fine. The level will get slightly higher when the engine is hot as well. If it was more than 1/4” above the full dot I would drain some out.
@@ThePracticalMechanic - I always check it when it is cold and haven't started it for the day!
@@leemehan if you haven’t started it yet it will be slightly higher. The oil will drain out of the internal passages as it sits. If your level is just above the full hole after sitting over night it should be good.
@@ThePracticalMechanic - Well, when I add oil I add it and then wait 15 minutes to check!
can you tell me the end position of dipstick?
I mean minimum reading ,it means oil at oil pan only ?
Is it harmful to bring dipstick close to camera away from engine
To protect the eyes from splashing oil the drone is the safer way to make a video rather than holding the cam with the blurry eyes.
