How do I properly check the honda civic oil level in my car?

so, the first time I tried checking my oil, I ended up with oil on my favorite shirt. like, seriously. But I learned to do it right after a few messy attempts. first step, park your car on level ground. I learned that the hard way when my readings were all over the place.

then, let the engine cool down a bit. you don’t wanna burn your hands using the dipstick. Pull it out, wipe it clean, then stick it back in. then check it and see where the oil level is at. I usually just guess if it’s okay, but is that smart?

And don’t forget to add oil if it’s low. I nearly forgot once and my car started making weird noises. u ever had that happen?

I remember the first time I checked my Honda Civic oil level in my parents’ driveway back in Michigan it felt like I was performing some sacred ritual. so I popped the hood and pulled out that dipstick thinking it was all magic but it was just dirty. I’ve learned to make it a routine now even if sometimes I’m running late.

it’s so simple yet so easy to forget.

I remember that one time in my garage in California when I thought I had a huge oil leak in my Civic but it turned out I just needed to check the oil level properly.

I ve learned that just pulling out the dipstick and wiping it clean is key before sticking it back in. I always feel like a pro afterwards.

I have a 2016 Civic and checking the oil level is super easy. Just pull the dipstick out wipe it clean then put it back in. Pull it out again and check the level. I ve done this at least a dozen times now and I’m no mechanic.

Makes me think of that time I was at a gas station in New York and forgot to check it. I ended up needing a quart on the road. Lesson learned for sure.

I remember checking my Honda Civic oil level for the first time in my garage in Michigan. It’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Just make sure the car is on level ground and you wipe the dipstick clean.

I’ve always found that getting the oil level right saves me a lot of trouble later. Way better than dealing with a messy engine.

last summer I checked my oil in my Civic while parked by the beach in California I felt like a pro but realized I had no idea what I was doing I got kind of messy but hey the sun was shining and the ocean was calm

driving a Civic is cool but I always forget to check the oil until I’m in a pinch I’ve learned to just pop the hood and give it a look makes me feel like I’m in control of my car or something

I remember the first time I checked the oil on my Civic in a parking lot in Vancouver. I was totally lost.

Turns out it’s super easy just pull out the dipstick wipe it clean then stick it back in and pull it out again to see the oil level. If only life was that simple.

I remember my first Civic in Seattle I was totally clueless about checking oil levels. I’d just pop the hood and stare like it was a science project. One day I got brave and finally tried it but made a mess everywhere.

Now I just follow the dipstick like a pro no stress. It’s wild how something so simple can save ya from costly repairs down the road.

I remember checking my oil in a parking lot in Seattle once and had no clue what I was doing. It’s kinda tricky if you’ve never done it.

Make sure the engine is cool before you dip the stick.
