The oil dipstick is built into the oil filler cap. Unscrew the cap, pull the dipstick out, wipe it dry and reinsert it. Remove it again to read the oil level.
To read the oil dipstick in the 1997 Ford F150, remove the dipstick from the oil reservoir. Wipe the dipstick clean and then place it back into the reservoir. Then, remove the dipstick again and look for the height of the oil on the stick. It should be in the "Full" range.
The dipstick on a Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle is read by noting the position of the oil in relation to the markings. The oil should be between the full and add marks.
I was told that the oil is electronically read. no dipstick.

If it's similar to earlier models, the oil dipstick is built into the oil filler cap. Unscrew the cap, pull the dipstick out, wipe it dry and reinsert it. Remove it again to read the oil level.
Open the bonnet. Get a dipstick and clean it well. Insert the dipstick entirely into the oil tank. Remove it carefully and read the oil level.
you have to look for the line near the bottom of the dipstick and if the oil is up to the line that means it is full enough.
4 quarts. always make sure to "read" the oil dipstick.
After you have driven the car and the transmission is hot, pull the dipstick out that says "Trans Fluid". It will be longer than the dipstick for the engine oil. You read it the same way as the oil dipstick using the holes at the bottom as level indicators.
The dipstick has 2 lines on it. The top line indicates the engine oil is full and the lower line indicates the engine is about one quart low on oil.
Only two things.If there is no oil showing on the dipstick, there is not enough oil in the engine.OrThe dipstick is not pushed all the way in place.
