Topping up engine oil in a vehicle is a very simple operation that can be done in one step. One of the easiest tricks to use is to pour the oil not directly into the tank but through the oil level dipstick.

All you need to do is remove the dipstick from its housing and pour the liquid through it. Once finished, you can reinsert the dipstick. After that, you can perform the reset if the vehicle requires it. Up to 5 litres can be poured into the tank.
