Operating Instructions (Checking Oil Level)

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

  1. Parker på plant terræn: Ensure your vehicle is parked on a flat, level surface to get an accurate oil level reading.
  2. Motortemperatur: For most accurate readings, check the oil when the engine is cool, or at least 5-10 minutes after the engine has been turned off to allow oil to drain back into the oil pan. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations.
  3. Fjern oliepinden: Pull the dipstick out of its tube.

  5. Sæt oliepinden i igen: Fully reinsert the clean dipstick into its tube until it is completely seated.
  6. Remove and Read: Pull the dipstick out again and observe the oil level on the blade. The oil level should fall between the "ADD" (or MIN) and "FULL" (or MAX) marks.
  7. Add Oil (if necessary): 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. Sæt oliepinden i igen: Once the oil level is correct, fully reinsert the dipstick into its tube.
