So, we've discussed this before, but I'm frustrated with checking the oil on my car.
I can't check it when it's hot, as the oil is so thin it's impossible to read the dip-stick. And there's oil all splashed around up in the dip-stick holder thingy, that oil is just smeared all over it. And we'll just disregard that damned strut-brace all up in my grill when I'm trying to check it.
Usually I've checked it cold. What do we think that will do to the accuracy of the reading? Wouldn't it read a bit high, say, on a 90 degree day?
