[QUOTE="ron g, post: 1162535, member: 13653"] my understanding is that it is not the temperature of the oil that affects the reading, it is the distribution of oil in the engine. cold in the morning before start means most oil in the sump. hot reading will have some oil distributed in the engine leading to a lower reading. took me a while to get used to the new style with an oil monitor & no dipstick, but i can see that it makes so much more sense.
