Check and Restore Engine Oil Level

Model: Toyota Mr2 MK 2, W20 - Years 1990-2000
Part: Engine oil

For proper engine efficiency, it is crucial that the engine oil level is always correct: the engine is equipped with a dipstick that allows you to check the oil level as it is immersed in the oil sump itself. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean to view the two reference marks for the minimum and maximum levels (generally, there is one litre of oil between the minimum and maximum); once the dipstick is clean, insert it back into its housing, ensuring it goes in fully, and pull it out to check how far it is wet with oil: in the case of the vehicle in question, the oil reaches exactly halfway between the two references, so to restore the level, you need to add half a litre of oil.
