If I did it your way I'd fear being overfilled (at the Full mark when cold would be over full by ~0.2L) but I don't think you're negatively affecting the engine, fat margins of safety on consumer products yo. |

5 pages and nobody posts this?
1) Do it warm. 2) Check both sides and go off the lower side. 3) It's not a range, it's full or low, stop under filling! Quote:
2) You "drive with spirit" means you're liking taking corners hard which if you're under filled would cause loss of oil pressure as the pickup is uncovered. Also, extreme conditions is short trips and opposite of what 90% of people think it is. Quote:

Maybe it's because I come from cars that are very sensitive to oil starvation, but this crap drives me crazy. |

The "full" mark is not an indicator that it MUST be to that line. It simply means it is full. The instructions are very clear when you need to add oil and it does not say "If below the full line at all". That said I am firmly with you in the keep it full all the time camp.
