checking oil level
When I check dipstick level with engine cold [a few hours or even days since running] the oil level is at normal range and almost the same as when checking level within one minute of shut down after driving. Ithought the oil would drain down if sitting cold? when looking into center section of resevoir, there is no oil above plate but dipstick shows correct level. Is it normal for dipstick reading to be almost same whether cold or just after shutdown? thanks Mark
