[QUOTE="Rsim, post: 1162780, member: 22683"] 100% And to OP, for topups check dipstick when cold. It's not about it being cold it's the implication that the oil has had time to return to the sump. If the car happens to be hot ie went for a drive, pushing oil out of the sump in the process, the least you can do is wait 10min for the majority of the circulated oil to return to the sump where your dipstick measures the level from.
