The engine is what makes your car run. That is to say it is the most
essential part of your vehicle. Checking your car engine helps a lot
in maintaining an excellent performing engine.

To check this very significant auto part, stop first the engine. Let
the engine oil be poured down to the oil pan. Then, pull the engine
oil dipstick. Checking your owner's manual will guide you in looking
for the engine oil dipstick. Using a clean rag, any cloth or tissue,
wipe it off and then. Insert it again down into its right place.

If you need to look in the owner's manual to find the dipstick, you probably
shouldn't be touching anything under the hood in the FIRST place.

Of course, you leave out the most important part in your little lesson here
after "wipe it off and then" - ha! - "check to see where the oil level is in
relation to the markings at the end of the dipstick." - duh!

There's a reason why they call it a dipstick, you dipstick!

P.S.  Is it me or does this sound like it was written for a first-grader?

I didn't know the warrantee allowed the oil to be cheked by a non-
mechanic.
