Why is oil level higher after just turning off?
Discussion
I don't understand this, I would have thought that, because a lot of oil is still in the engine/pipework after use, the level would be lower! If checked when the engine's stone cold, the oil level in the sump is lower, I would have thought it should be the other way around, as all the oil has had chance to seep back into the dry sump! Why?

so...wait... ive always thought i was supposed to check my oil level when the engine was hot hot hot. is this not accurate then?
That's what my Tamora book says to do and that's what the factory and dealer said to do. I always get a reading of well over the max. I always check twice cleaning the dip stick each time to make sure. My Tuscan never used any oil and its looking like the Tamora will be the same.
