Engine oil. Remove dipstick, wipe clean and replace. Remove dipstick again and check level shown. If oil needs to be added, remove oil filler cap and gradually add oil until the level reaches the maximum mark on the dipstick. Always check oil when the vehicle is cold and is standing on level ground
