how much do I put into it??





many thanks peopleHow do I top up my car with motor oil?
you need to find your dipstick..then you can check the level.How do I top up my car with motor oil?
You check the oil first so it will depend on where the level is when you check it usually the dipstick will have a mark indicating full and add. The add mark will usually indicate that it needs about a quart. So add about a 1/2 quart and check if it comes half way to the full mark add the rest
assuming it is low , as mentioned by others by pulling out the metal dipstick ( found somewhere on your engine - depending apon what vehicle you have?). you must then put oil in slowly ,ensuring that your car is on FLAT ground 1st !,.then usually you can put the oil in where the dipstick is pulled out from......





if you stated your vehicle you could gain a very accurate answer.


Good luck - remember FLAT ground when you do it
You need to check your dipstick as someone else had advised and this time look for the diamond markings on the dipstick. If the stick is showing there is some oil on it you are barely a quart short. Remember to clean the dipstick before you make any reads. If the oil reads half up the diamond markings you need half a quart. Read the stick after you put the oil in this way you know how much you are putting in. Good luck!
you unscrew the cap that's on top of the cam/valve cover and then you add as much oil that's needed until it reachs the max mark on the dip stick
Open the nearside rear window and keep pouring until it runs out of the window, then it will be full.
