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.
if to much oil in vehicle --not on level ground --engine running while checking oil -or not swiping stick clean before reading it these are reasons for high reading on dip stick oil pressure sensor/switch only measures the pressure of the oil
the electrnic power contro; is like a check engine light. there is a code . as the oil does sounds like a bad oil sending sensor is for the oil level. and as the level on the dip stick some times oil is so clean it is hard see on the stick
I assume you are talking about an automatic transmission?
If this is the case then the torque converter is what holds most of the fluid. I am sure it holds at least for quarts. After you have added that much you can then start the engine with the emergency brake on and the gears in the neutral postion. Check the dip stick to see if any fluid is showing on the stick yet. If not then add another quart and so on until you see the first signs of fluid on the dip stick. Once fluid is apparent on the stick then you will switch to pints. The dip stick reads in pints unlike the oil dip stick which reads in quarts. So just keep adding a pint until the dip stick shows you the full mark. Remeber this is done while the motor is running and the gears are in the neutral positon with the emergency brake on. I hope this helps you, Raz
The transmission oil is located in the transmission. If you are looking for the dip stick, its on the engine and its written on the top of the stick. Do not mistake the oil dip for the transmission dip stick. It sounds as if you need someone to show it to you. Go to your nearest car parts and they will gladly show you the dip stick. I hope this was helpful.
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,
If the car will not start back up (won't crank or turn over) you are in big trouble. Because that means the engine is seized up and will require either a new engine or a re-manufactured unit. Did the oil pressure light (or any light for that matter) illuminate on the dash. If no turn the key to ignition not run, and see if the oil light illuminates, it should, if it dosen't either the bulb is blown, the sending unit is bad or the wiring is open. My guess is all the oil shot out of the dipstick, ran low on oil and the engine seized up. I'm sure this isn't the answer you were looking for but good luck. Sorry about your misfortune.
