Today, check and top up the engine oil of the Honda CR-V. Pull the lever to unlock the bonnet, located next to the clutch pedal. Now open the bonnet and remove the dipstick, clean it, and replace it. Once done, pull it out again to accurately check the oil level.

At the bottom of the dipstick, there are two holes; the upper one indicates the maximum oil level and the lower one the minimum level. If the oil level is low, unscrew the oil filler cap next to the dipstick and add the missing engine oil.
