Where should the oil level be indicated on the dipstick when checking?

When checking the oil level with a dipstick, it is important for the oil level to fall between the maximum and minimum indicators. This range ensures that the engine has an adequate supply of oil for proper lubrication, while also avoiding the potential for overfilling, which can lead to issues such as foaming and decreased lubrication efficiency.

Maintaining the oil level within this specific range allows for optimal engine performance and helps prevent damage that could arise from insufficient or excessive oil. Regularly checking to ensure the oil level is within this range is a key part of vehicle maintenance.
