Thread: engine oil level !!!!

  1. Default engine oil level !!!!

    hi
    i left my car stopped for 2 days and washed it and checked engine oil and it was at mid level, drive it for like 5 minutes stopped and after 10 minutes checked oil level and it was almost on max level...
    is it normal to be on mid level in cold engine ?

    Depends on the level of the car, I've seen this happen and moved the car forward or backwards and get a different reading.... Couple of degrees on the angle must make a difference

    Myu understanding is that the oil level will always read higher when the engine is hot. Oil levels should be taken when the engine is cold.
