1. Turn off engine ,
2. Take of oil cap on engine
3. Put in a little oil in oil filler hole of engine.
4. then pull out the oil dip stick from engine
5. and clean the dip stick on a rag.
6. Put dip stick back in engine
7. pull out again and check the level showing on the dip Stick
8. If level is too low on dip stick and is not at full level go back to step 1

These steps ensures you avoid over filling the engine with oil

Tip for beginners
The 4 litre oil bottle is way too much oil for an engine to handle.
If you have a full 4 litre oil plastic bottle square shape . hold the bottle on its side to pour the oil out slowly and smoothly.

The dip stick has markings on it showing the level it should be at.

Most cars have a tube-like device with a removable fluid level checking "dip stick" in it connected to the transmission. The d stick has fluid level marks on its very tip showing low to full. You wipe the d stick clean insert it with the motor running in park gear. Insert and remove and take a look at the end of the d stick. Your looking for wetness of oil and this gives you the actual level of oil in the tranny. Compare the wetness to markings on the stick to tell if you need to add more ATF oil to the unit or not. Add a 3rd of a quart at a time and recheck until the wetness is at the full mark - if low on fluid. This dip stick and tube is usually spotted easily by looking for its special knob end - which can be yellow, red or have TRANS written on it somewhere around the motor area - and don't confuse the motor oil dip stick for the one you're looking for. Some cars have no such device. Checking then become a mechanics chore once the car is up on a lift. This link shows great products to assure years longer transmission life.

Oil is not returning to the pan from the over head valve cover area.

If you have new oil and know for sure that there is sufficient oil in the sump this is not a new problem as new oil has little refelective quality and is almost impossible to see on the metal dip stick as compared to oil that has done some work. Assuming that you are looking at the right dip stick and not the tranny one. I find that by drying off the metal and painting it with white paint ( oil Resistant ) past the full mark will help. Other than that run you finger down the stick until you feel the oil

look on dip stick you should see cross hatched area with add oil or oil full mark.if you wipe oil dip stick with a clean paper towel and dip stick look dry no sign of oil add little oil at a time see if oil level reach add oil mark or the full mark.if oil is low. low oil light will turn on if bulb is blowed but if dip stick look dry oil level could be low,add little bit at a time dont over fill.

intake gasket if u have been adding water to yur radiater that meens that it has finally worked it way into the oil pockets and that would fill it up and look milky thats what it looks like when water and oil mix together

LOOK UNDER THE HOOD LOOK ON FRONT VALVE COVER THATS WHERE OIL FILL CAP LOCATED.YOU HAVE A OIL LEVEL DIP STICK BELOW THE FRONT VALVE COVER.LOOK ON THE OIL LEVEL DIP STICK WHEN ADDING OIL DONT OVER FILL THE FULL MARK LINE ON OIL DIP STICK THAT WHERE YOUR OIL LEVEL SHOULD BE DONT GO PASS THE FULL MARK.

To check engine oil level engine needs to be off, if check while engine running, oil will splash inside oil pan and all over your dip stick giving you bad reading, Check oil level with engine off and add to full mark on oil dip stick. Running engine with low oil will cause major damage to your engine. To check transmission level engine needs to be running at normal engine temp.

Make sure you are not checking the oil with the car running first of all, second don't check the oil immediately after turning off the car let the engine stand for about ten minute allowing the oil to drain off the dip stick,
