What should you do when your car is leaking oil, but your next routine service appointment is still months away? Fortunately, performing an oil check at home yourself is easy, and it only takes a few minutes. Checking the oil levels in your car can save you time and money in the long run — so it’s definitely worth your time now! Learn how to check car oil in the guide below, courtesy of the service team at Kiefer Kia!
Your owner’s manual should provide a maintenance schedule for your Kia vehicle. However, you’ll still need to check oil levels occasionally. If you notice an oil stain underneath your car or the “check oil” dashboard light comes on, it’s good practice to take a quick look at your oil levels. Here’s how:
Your dipstick will have a cross-hatched area, or markings that say “FULL” or “ADD.” If the oil level is within the cross-hatched area or the FULL marks, your oil levels are good. If not, then it’s time to add oil. To add oil, remove the oil filler cap and add oil a little at a time until the dipstick shows that you’re at the proper level. If oil levels are low and accompanied by persistent oil stains on your driveway, bring your car in so our Kia technicians can diagnose the problem and get you back up and running ASAP.
