how to do
Check your oil indicator.
A reading of an oil level that's too high may tell you there's water in the engine. Do not start or run your car ¡ª it could cause severe damage.
Determine how long your car was submerged.
The shorter the time, the more salvageable any damaged parts may be.
Measure the depth of the water that submerged your car.
It is possible water did not enter any parts that are susceptible to damage.
Be sure to note the type of water that flooded your vehicle.
Fresh water causes less damage to your car than salt water.
Check local weather reports for the temperature during and after flooding.
Warmer temperatures may speed up corrosion, especially if your car was flooded with salt water.
