Engine Oil - Honda Civic Sedan 1993 Owner's Manual

Checking Engine Oil
DIPSTICK
Check the engine oil a couple of
minutes after shutting off the
engine. This will allow the oil to
drain down to the bottom of the
engine. Make sure the car is parked
on level ground.
1. Pull out the dipstick (orange
loop) and wipe it with a cloth or
paper towel.
2. Insert it all the way back in its
tube.
UPPER MARK
LOWER MARK
3. Pull it out again and look at the
oil level at the end of the dipstick.
If it is between the upper and
lower marks, the level is correct.
Add oil if the level is at or below
the lower mark.

Tighten it securely. Wait a few
minutes and recheck the oil level.
