How do I check my oil level and condition?

To check your oil, park on level ground with the engine off and cool, then pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and pull it out again to read the level. The oil should fall between the minimum and maximum marks. Healthy oil looks smooth and amber to light brown, while dark, gritty, or milky oil signals it is time for a change or that there may be a problem. Also note if the level is low, which could indicate a leak or oil consumption. In Miami's heat, checking your oil every few weeks is a smart habit. If your oil looks dirty or sits low, do not wait. Motoro Cars offers a $29.99 full synthetic oil change with a 33-point inspection that checks oil and much more. Call Wynwood at (786) 634-2002 or Doral at (786) 633-3220.
