If certain fluid levels go unchecked, it could end up costing the car owner thousands of dollars in repair costs. As part of a routine inspection, certain fluids should be checked to ensure that mechanical car components are kept in top operating condition. The car owner can easily check many fluid levels while a car is at the filling station. Read on to learn how simple it is to check a cars vital fluid levels.

How to Check Engine Oil Level

Before checking the engine oil level, ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground. It doesn’t make a difference if the engine is hot or cold. Most cars and truck use a metal stick commonly known as a dipstick. The actual dipstick will have two marks towards the bottom of the stick. If the oil is at the correct level, oil should be present between the two marks. .

Instructions

1. turn the engine off
2. put in park (automatic) or first gear (manual trans)
3. set the parking brake
4. pull the dipstick from the tube
5. wipe off oil on dipstick with a clean rag
6. insert dipstick back into tube
7. pull the dipstick from the tube again
8. ensure oil is between the two marks
9. add engine oil if necessary

Checking the Automatic Transmission Fluid Level

In most instances, checking the automatic transmission fluid level should be done while the engine is running and when the engine is hot. The transmission fluid level indicator is generally just like the engine dipstick, having two marks at the bottom of the dipstick. If the fluid level is correct, the fluid should be present between the two marks.
