yeah, that d*amned ford. it burned a quart every 3000 miles. if you missed an oil change it let you know via the 'check oil' light. pretty clever of those ford engineers eh?

A hot engine will have the same amount of oil as a cool engine. The only time you don't want to check your oil is when it is running. I'm not sure who told you that but they were wrong.<hr></blockquote>

FALSE. If the engin has not been sitting for a while there is still oil like along the walls and junk... you want the engine to sit for a while after it has ran to get a true accurate reading. But It can still be hot in way but if you turn the car off then go directly and measure it, you will get a false reading....
