drain back into the bottom of the engine.
Hold a rag under the end and
pull the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.

●Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components.
●Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.

another duly qualified and equipped professional pressure test the cap and
check for leaks in the cooling system.
