So like, a friend of mine was driving for 10min and hears strange noises coming from his car. He decides to check his oil level and notices that it's WAY below the 'low' dot.
So he buys more oil and tops it up..now he later finds that he has WAY too much oil as the oil level is alot higher than the 'high' dot.
(the stange noises are still there)
This has led me to think..after driving for a while, turning off your car and checking the oil level straight away, is it normal for the oil level to be below the 'low' dot? If so, how long will the car need to be left off for before the actual oil level reading will be shown on the dipstick?
Thanks
