The oil dipstick is the primary manual tool for monitoring engine health. It allows for a visual check of both the oil level and its current condition. A properly sealing dipstick handle is important to prevent vacuum leaks and ensure contaminants do not enter the crankcase. Regular use of the dipstick is essential for preventing low-oil conditions that lead to severe engine wear.
