Step 1: Park on a Level Surface
Make sure your Hyundai Palisade is parked on a level surface before checking the engine oil level. This will ensure an accurate reading. Allow the engine to cool down for a few minutes before proceeding with the check.
Step 2: Locate the Oil Dipstick
Open the hood of your Hyundai Palisade and locate the engine oil dipstick. The oil dipstick is typically a brightly colored handle with an oil symbol on it.
Step 3: Remove and Wipe the Dipstick
Remove the engine oil dipstick from the tube and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. This ensures an accurate measurement.
Step 4: Reinsert the Dipstick and Check the Oil Level
Insert the clean dipstick back into the tube until it is fully seated, then remove it again to check the oil level. Check the oil level by observing the markings on the dipstick. The oil level should fall between the minimum and maximum marks.
Step 5: Add Oil if Necessary
If the oil level is below the minimum mark on the dipstick, you will need to add more oil to bring it to the correct level. Add the appropriate type and amount of engine oil as recommended in your Hyundai Palisade owner's manual.
