I've checked it cold in the morning, and warm after a drive. The oil expands a little when hot, but not much in this car. My previous 2.5 boxer was worse, or maybe the oil was more susceptible to expansion. FWIW, I had two BMW 3 series cars simoutaniously at one point, both with the 2.5 six, both calling for the same amount of oil, and one consistently took almost a full quart more to get to the full mark on the dipstick. Maybe my local Walmart siphons oil out of some of the 5 gallon jugs before I buy it.
