If you check after leaving it overnight then you know for sure all of the oil is there. I change my own oil and always drain out exactly what I put in (5.5L) and it reads exactly on the MAX dot when I check in the morning.


I swear some people around here need torque specs for the license plates

Do you use a theodolite to establish your "benchmark"?
