1: Raise the hood. 2: Locate Dipstick 3: Pull out dipstick and wipe off with a lint free cloth or paper towel. 4: Re-insert dipstick 5: pull dipstick out again and look to see where the oil marks on the dipstick.
If one feels that it is necessary to completely clean a dipstick, it can be effectively cleaned with good warm soapy water. There is no real need to clean a dipstick, as in order to properly read your oil level you can simply wipe the stick with a paper towel so that you can clearly see the mark on the dipstick when checking oil levels.

Let the engine idle for 5 to 10 minutes to heat up the oil. Slowly remove the oil filler cap positioned on the right side of the engine. Clean the dipstick with a paper towel, then inset it back into the oil and remove it again to get an accurate reading.

Oil can pass through filter paper. Also bear in mind that there are different grades of filter paper. I personally have filtered oil very successfully, using an ordinary paper towel as my filter paper.

To read the oil dipstick in the 1997 Ford F150, remove the dipstick from the oil reservoir. Wipe the dipstick clean and then place it back into the reservoir. Then, remove the dipstick again and look for the height of the oil on the stick. It should be in the "Full" range.
