Check the oil level with the dipstick. Once you are safely on the side of the road, pop the hood and check the oil level in your vehicle’s engine using the dipstick. Locate the dipstick in the engine bay and remove it, wipe off the oil that is on the indicator at the end of the dipstick using a rag or napkin, then slide the dipstick back into the tube it came from. Now remove the dipstick again and look at the amount of oil on the indicator
Look at how far up the indicator the wet oil line reaches.
Each line below the “full” line indicates a quart of oil the engine is low.
If the oil line reaches the second line below the “full” line, it means the engine is short two quarts of oil.
