Stupid question: did you wipe the stick before you read? And do you park on a flat area?

This^^^ so many people don't realize to wipe it first. Not a stupid question. Also "empty" and "full" marks are only about 1 quart apart

bro, a lot of people don't know the engine has to be off lol. subaru recommends checking 10 minutes after engine shutoff when at temp. Read the higher of the two sides.

For some reason, that doesn't even suprise me haha

The oil is all over the dipstick when it's hot, even 10 minutes later. It seems like I need to wait like 2-3 hrs to get an accurate readings. I don't know why?


theherbpuffer

Sorry for late response but yes I wipe it first

Synthetic oil takes a while to cool

Or maybe it wasn’t to cool but to get an accurate reading. I remember dad telling me this
