Nissan Sentra Owners Manual: Checking engine oil level
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
- Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches operating temperature.
- Turn off the engine. Wait more than 10 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
- Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinsert it all the way.
