[QUOTE="ron g, post: 1081373, member: 13653"] i suggest that you leave the car standing with the motor off for a while & get an accurate reading before deciding or assuming anything. i prefer to check oil in the morning before starting to get best reading, but leaving for 15 to 30 minutes would at least be meaningful. checking with the engine running is meaningless, regardless of whether or not you see bubbles. or have i misunderstood that your original post is based on a reading taken while the engine was idling?
