# How to Check the Oil Level in a Meyers Plow
Meyer snow plows need to be well lubricated in order for the hydraulic system to work properly. There is no measuring device within the fluid reservoir, so it may not be readily apparent how to check the oil level. If the hydraulic fluid runs too low in the plow, the lift system can become permanently damaged.
Things You'll Need
- Drinking straws
- Masking tape
- Tape measure or ruler

1
Twist off the oil reservoir lid.

Insert a clean drinking straw into the oil reservoir until it touches the bottom.

3
Mark the position on the straw where the top of the filler hole is with a small piece of tape. Pull the straw out of the reservoir.

4
Measure the length between the mark on the straw to where the oil starts. Add oil if the fluid level is more than 1 to 1 1/2 inches below the filler hole.
