[QUOTE="Mouse, post: 175323, member: 2204"] did u guys notice early in the morning your engine oil will drop coz its cold and after driving and the engine is hot the oil level will increase because the oil expand (that is the charateristic of engine oil if i am not mistaken) just like stone, woods, etc. the way to determine the correct level of your engine oil is around 15-30 minute after shutting off your engine (most of site recommend this procedure). during this time, i believe the oil on the dipstick should be in the centre line between your min and max. while it should drop slightly abit below the center line after 8 hours of leaving idle. (that is the best engine oil level for me) what u guys think? [/QUOTE]
