How to check Engine oil Properly?

[DGame]

Guys, how do you properly check your engine's oil? I checked it kanina before I left house and konti na lang sya. When I arrived here sa work, after 4 hours na nakapatay, I checked it again and it was at normal level. Which one should I be making as a reference? Thanks

overnight ba naka park yun car when you first checked it?

[DGame]

Yes, sir. Bale, off ko sya ng 11:30 last night, then before going out at 2:30 kanina afternoon, I checked on it.

check your dipstick at cold engine or before you start the engine, where the oils have rested on its oil pan.

yup! natatawa na lang ako sa mga gas boys (at syempre dun na din sa mga drivers) when they check the oil while filling up, with the engine running pa! tapos sasabihin ng gas boy, sir mababa ung oil level o! si sir naman, bili agad ng oil.. hehehe

so dapat reference is while engine is still cold?

yes, bago start yung engine sa umaga check for the oil first.

Sa Isuzu casa (Manila) they check the dipstick after turning off the engine so when the engine is off it exceeds the max limit. This is the way to check daw when I talked to the Isuzu Engineer assigned sa casa. This is the same way they do also in Isuzu Pasig.

Some Australian sites I've read before also check the oil after the engine is shut off.
