Checking your engine oil is a good idea, and everything you need is under the hood. You can easily find the oil — the cap has an oil can symbol that looks a bit like a magic lamp. Simply wait until your car has cooled down from its last use. Then, take out the dipstick and clean it off. Put it back into the oil, and pull it out. You will then be able to see the level and condition of your oil. If the oil is low, or if it’s dark and gritty, you will need to have your oil changed.
