Before you begin, open the front bonnet of your Volkswagen Polo. Start by pulling out the dipstick, which has a yellow ring on the top. Next, clean the dipstick thoroughly with a cloth and reinsert it fully into its housing. After that, pull it out again.

This way, you can check the oil level using the MIN and MAX markings as a reference. Once you complete this step, you will know if the oil in the engine is sufficient.
