There is no mark on oil dip stick to show correct level

The dip stick has markings on it showing the level it should be at.

Hi,make shore the car is on level ground,best to do this from cold,you pull the oil dip stick out and clean the oil off the end of the dip stick,you will see marks on the dipstick you wont the level to be just below the top mark,
so put the dip stick all the way back into the tube where the dip stick came out of then check to see if the level is ok,best to check a couple of times untill you are happy with the readings,when you are happy that the oil is correct replace dipstic job done.
all the best.

Most cars have a tube-like device with a removable fluid level checking "dip stick" in it connected to the transmission. The d stick has fluid level marks on its very tip showing low to full. You wipe the d stick clean insert it with the motor running in park gear. Insert and remove and take a look at the end of the d stick. Your looking for wetness of oil and this gives you the actual level of oil in the tranny. Compare the wetness to markings on the stick to tell if you need to add more ATF oil to the unit or not. Add a 3rd of a quart at a time and recheck until the wetness is at the full mark - if low on fluid. This dip stick and tube is usually spotted easily by looking for its special knob end - which can be yellow, red or have TRANS written on it somewhere around the motor area - and don't confuse the motor oil dip stick for the one you're looking for. Some cars have no such device. Checking then become a mechanics chore once the car is up on a lift. This link shows great products to assure years longer transmission life. Hope this helps. http://www.auto-tune-up-and-repair-options.com/Transmission-Help.html

Hi Arlene, Open the hood and check the oil level in the gear box. The oil can be checked on the dip stick which is fitted into the gearbox. The level is checked with the engine running and the parking brake fully applied and the selector lever in 'N' On the dip stick there are four marks. The fluid level must be between the two lower levels if the engine has just been started and if it has warmed to operating temperature it should be between the upper marks. If the oil level is correct, the gearbox has a problem. Regards John

look on dip stick you should see cross hatched area with add oil or oil full mark.if you wipe oil dip stick with a clean paper towel and dip stick look dry no sign of oil add little oil at a time see if oil level reach add oil mark or the full mark.if oil is low. low oil light will turn on if bulb is blowed but if dip stick look dry oil level could be low,add little bit at a time dont over fill.

You have an oil stick that goes into the oil pan. In order to properly check the oil level, you must let your car heat up for 7-10 minutes, until temperature is almost normal. Make sure the car is level. After that checks out, take the dip stick out of the engine. On the end of the dip stick, you will see a warm mark and a cold mark. There is two dents or marks on the edge of the dip stick. The oil level needs to be between those marks. If it is below, add oil. Be careful to not add to much. They might be just two marks on it only. Same rule. It needs to be in the middle. If you have a question, feel free to contact me. I am here to help you. Thank you for choosing FixYa.

It's going to be hard to get the right one, as you well know, what you could try, is do a oil change with oil filter, get an after market dip stick, after replacing oil and filter, start engine, turn it off, insert dip stick, and mark it with a file where the oil level is, that will be your new full line.

LOOK UNDER THE HOOD LOOK ON FRONT VALVE COVER THATS WHERE OIL FILL CAP LOCATED.YOU HAVE A OIL LEVEL DIP STICK BELOW THE FRONT VALVE COVER.LOOK ON THE OIL LEVEL DIP STICK WHEN ADDING OIL DONT OVER FILL THE FULL MARK LINE ON OIL DIP STICK THAT WHERE YOUR OIL LEVEL SHOULD BE DONT GO PASS THE FULL MARK.

To check engine oil level engine needs to be off, if check while engine running, oil will splash inside oil pan and all over your dip stick giving you bad reading, Check oil level with engine off and add to full mark on oil dip stick. Running engine with low oil will cause major damage to your engine. To check transmission level engine needs to be running at normal engine temp.

if it has a dip stick under the bonnet you need to have the engine running with the box in neutral then dip the oil
if the engine is warm then it should read around the top mark, if the engine us cold then it should rear around the lower mark
if there is no dip stick then there is no way of checking the level and you will need to drain the box and re fill with the correct ammount through the gearbox breather on the top
