Engine Oil: Testing and Inspection

OIL LEVEL AND MUDDINESS 

^

Before starting the engine, check the oil level. If the engine is already started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.

^

Check that the oil level is within the range on the dipstick. 

^

If it is out of range, add oil as necessary.

^

Check the oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination. 

^

If the oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with coolant. Determine the cause and correct as necessary.
