Nissan Sentra Owners Manual: Checking engine oil level
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
- Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches operating temperature.
- Turn off the engine. Wait more than 10 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
- Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinsert it all the way.
- Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. It should be between the H (High) and L (Low) marks B . This is the normal operating oil level range. If the oil level is below the L (Low) mark A , remove the oil filler cap and pour recommended oil through the opening. Do not overfill C .
- Recheck oil level with the dipstick.
It is normal to add some oil between oil maintenance intervals or during the break-in period, depending on the severity of operating conditions.
