My brother drives his 03 Civic Si pretty hard and called me up tonight to say that he checked his oil level and said that it was just barely below the L-line, asking if I could help him. Being the dumbass that I am, I have no idea.
Do you just unscrew the cap on the top of the engine and begin to fill it up? I'd imagine you dump a pint into it, run the car for a few minutes, check the oil level, and proceed as necessary? What type of safety precautions should I take? Should I add oil while the car is running or off? Thanks, Brian |
