My check oil light is on, but my engine oil stick doesn’t reach the oil. I want to check how much oil I have though, so it’s not very helpful.
Google says just add more oil, but I don’t know how much oil I already have. Can someone tell me what to do here?
Tie a small bolt to a string, remove dipstick and lower bolt into hole until you feel it touch the bottom. Mark the point on string thats at top of the dipstick tube then pull it out and compare with dipstick.
Alternate malicious answer: pour sand in, it will displace oil upward and dipstick can be used as normal.
