Default dumb question but not sure

On the dip stick there are the 2 dots is it bad for the oil level to be right in the middle or is that where is needs to be? I have noticed I burn a lot more oil when its up to the top line but no where near as much if the oil is at the middle. Where should I just keep it about the lower line? Thanks and sorry for the stupid question just not exactly sure


Oh and does anyone have any good ideas on how to get a snapped bolt out of the a.c condensor. I got the hoses off just dont want to have to take out the condensor and not a lot of room to work

I think that the low hole is cold I, top spot is cold, I mean hot. Do you have an owners manual?
As for the bolt, take it to a garage, they have easy outs.

The top dot stats when the car is full of oil (at max level) and the lower dot stats when the car is low on oil. If you keep it somewhere in the middle you are good.

To remove a broken bolt you want to invest in a drill out set which you should be able to purchase at any local hardware store or Sears.
