Engine Oil Level, Checking
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volkswagen Routan, 2013 Volkswagen Routan, 2012 Volkswagen Routan, 2011 Volkswagen Routan, and 2010 Volkswagen Routan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The best time to check the engine oil level is after the vehicle has sat overnight, or if the engine has been running, allow the engine to be shut off for at least 5 minutes before checking the oil level.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on a level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is at or below the "ADD" mark.
