yea i know smart guy, was agreeing

 

reading > you

 

One thing I've always heard if you want a warm reading is to pull the dipstick when you first get out of the car and leave it out for a few minutes. That will let the oil settle out of the shaft so it doesn't affect the reading when you reinsert the stick.

 

2-3 seconds is enough to get the right reading.

 

As stated above, always check it when it's cold, just like your tire pressures.
