For those comming here to find out how to check oil, a couple of things not pointed out in this video: 1. only check your oil when the car is on a flat and level as possable surface, its useless to check oil on a vehicle that is on a hill. 2. the thumbnail is useless, oil will be dark in colour unless you do a complete engine flush. (dont believe me after you do an oil change, drive for 10mins then check it again, it will be dark and blackish lready) 3. when checking oil on the dipstick, after you pull it out to see the level. always keep the end with the oil on pointed towards the ground, if you raise it up, oil will run up the dipstick and your level will be incorrect. 4. you can put too much oil in a car, if its near the top marker, its fine. unless you know what your doing you may cause more problems trying to top it up that last little bit.

Yea pretty much. I change both my engine oils at 3000mi and the oil always comes out dark brown. Also, I have 5W30 synthetic. So when checking the oil (when the engine is warm, waiting 5min before checking oil according to the manufacturer) the oil on the dipstick appears different. At the tip it's dark, at the "L" mark it is medium brown, at the center it's light brown, at the "F" mark it's really light in color

Be sure to frequently change your oil. Check the dipstick once a week if you have no leak and 1 to 3 times a week, if you have a leak, depends on it's severity, add if you have to. Make sure the oil on the dipstick is not below the lower mark or even worse, dried out and if you top it above the high level, don't panic unless it's way up high, if it's a half an inch extra you're fine. Check your dipstick every time right after you leave the oil change shop to be on the safe side.

Yes it is a messy job, just thoroughly wash hands afterwards.

Thanks for your very good explaining on how to check the engine oil, let me explain something, mostly of people suppose to know how to change an oil in the car, and some ladies know how to check oil in the car and change oil in the car, I'm speaking specially about men, I change motor oil regularly in my car every 3,000 miles or every 3 months, and that is a very basic thing to do in a car and it takes 15 to 20 minutes to do that, I'm full mechanic but I know something about a car, I had a 2003 Cadillac DeVille for 5 years but in 3 years the DeVille gave me 2 problems misfire and the starter but the starter was located under the manifold and it was a big job, I was going to 5 different shops they asked me $1,000 to $12,00 to fix my DeVille and I said wow and I was going not to spend that kind of money in my DeVille, I know for sure my DeVille needs to change the starter, but I didn't know yet why my DeVille misfire, when I checked the spark plugs and there was an oil in every each spark plugs, I said wow I found the misfire problem, the starter did cost me $63 on eBay brand new, and the gasket cover kit did cost $92 brand new in AutoZone, it did cost me $155 to do everything by myself, no more misfire problem and no more starter problem, and I almost spent 4 hours to do everything, one more thing $155 are different with $1200 and after 2 years I sold it, I don't know for someone else but believe me the engine and transmission on those DeVille are so strong, but now I have an 06 zephyr and I'm for another DeVille to buy, someone said specially for my people they said Toyota this and that and that is a completely lie its depending on how to treat your car, and favorite car are Ford Chevrolet,

For any kind of Mitsubishi that is not rallied. Oil should last 5,000 miles until your car hits 75,000 miles. Then it should drop down to 3,750 miles. After about 130,000 miles, the oil should be changed every 3,000 miles. I read that from a mechanic on a forum that worked for Ralliart in the early 2000s.

The best rule of thumb is if you want to drive your vehicle for 200, 000 miles or more for 10 to 20 years or more then change it every 4000 to 5000 miles with a quality synthetic oil and a new filter every time or every 6 to 9 months whichever comes 1st. 6 months if you're in harsh driving conditions (Google or bc probably 85% of us daily drivers are.. Stop and go traffic, 20 or less miles to and from work, short grocery store trips etc...) you can go 9 months to a year of you're under 5k miles but why risk it. Doing it yourself for 50 to 100 bucks per year with high quality oil/filter and you're engine will thank you for decades. If you don't do it yourself you can just use coupons or deals at the shops for just basic non synthetic oil and probably do it every 3 to 4000 miles (so 3 to 4 times a year) for less than 150 bucks a year. Oil is cheap compared to engine problems. You don't need the 15000 or 20000 mile oil, just your cheap basic synthetic is fine, I use Costco Kirkland synthetic and get it when it's on sale for less than 30 dollars. 2 to 3 New filters and I'm good for the year. 1 hr of work per year. Easy peasy.

Question on 2014 Nissan Sentra I've been very closely watching my oil because I've had the catalytic converter go out twice in a year and this one needs to be replaced again. Check engine light P0420. I'm shopping for a new car now because this car has had so many big issues I just can't continue to invest in it. I don't know how much time it has left, not long I'm sure. The burning smell, black residue on the back of the car, and now louder sounds coming from the engine feel like I'm hearing all the alarms go off on a patient slipping away. I just need the car to last 4-8 more weeks and I'll be in a new car and I will donate it for scrap parts. My question is when I checked the oil tonight I feel like I smell gas on the napkin I wiped the dipstick on. Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me but I'm so sure I'm smelling gas. Obviously, I'm not a mechanic so maybe the answer is "that's perfectly normal" but i don't think so, so I have to ask. Sorry this is so long. I hope you have time to read and answer. And please any other responses, please be kind. This has been the most stressful situation just swinging from one day into the next day hoping it lasts a little bit longer.

Im confused though because its like there is a little oil in the shaft that gets on the stick about 6 inches above the safe line. What’s that all about? Its not being submerged, its perhaps that it curves around a weird spot and gets oil farther up the stick.

Note: If you have a Honda, most likely you will see dark oil after driving on a fresh oil change, it’s just a Honda thing Just make sure to change your oil regardless of vehicle at 3,000-5,000 miles, along with filter, but also make sure to get a good filter like Mobil 1 (cheap at Walmart) that will last more than 3,000 miles because most don’t

I wonder if those many multiple holes @ 4:00 in the dipstick make it more the oil level more obvious. Maybe the oil doesn't get into those holes as easily as it gets all over the stick when you put it into the tube. Do those extra holes help ?

My truck manual says that but it's now over 5k miles since the oil change and now it's only in between the min and max. I left it at full when I did the oil change. They usually put that now since it gives companies more leeway if someone's car does burn oil.

For determining oil change intervals you can ignore mileage intervals. They're a scam. Instead, look up the oil capacity of your model vehicle. Then multiply by the oil change constant of 200 to find how much fuel to burn between oil changes. Ex: oil capacity= 1.5 gallons x200 = 300 gallons of fuel. That's it. Just change oil every 300 gallons of fuel burned. To hell with mileage intervals because we can't discern between severe and ideal driving conditions. (Between highway driving and city driving)

Your engine oil is gonna smell a tiny bit like gasoline. That’s just how it smells. As long as you don’t notice your oil level going up between oil changes, I wouldn’t worry too much. Or take a sample of your oil and send it to an oil analysis place, like Blackstone Laboratory Oil Analysis.

@@Thugman98 not exactly, gasoline is similar to a solvent while oil is a lubricant. After a while there will be a little fuel in the oil from blow by but normally nothing sever. Certain gas or diesel engines have had issue with fuel dilution in the oil. The 6.4 powerstroke is known to increase your oil level if you have a leaking injector. Some Honda also have had gas go into the oil. But just driving should usually vaporize any gas contamination in the oil.

Remember when you take out the oil-sticky-thingy, that you keep it faceing downwards so the Oil doesnt run towards the Max-dot just because of gravity. It could possible be the thing that tricked you this time. I have also seen people talk about diffrent colurs on the stick, but they dont notice that the Oil still moves, which could couse Overlays, which makes it look like darker or brither.
