Idiot Question about Oil
Discussion
I've never been able to get a definitive answer as to when you are supposed to check the oil level.
Is it when it's cold? Or a bit warm? Or hot?
This was never a problem when I lived somewhere flat, as I just checked it every now and again, sometimes first thing and sometimes after a short drive.
Now I live on a steep hill and park on the road it's a bit trickier to check.
If I drive to my local petrol station (2 miles) and check it there, how long would PHers recommend leaving it stand before I check it?
Cheers
