I know this topic has been covered more than once, but rather than resurrecting some very old thread that doesn't quite match I started a new one. I've checked the oil in my GT350 pretty religiously at least once a week or so, usually on weekends or fill-ups. I don't wait for drain-back on fill-ups but it's always been in the hashed region. Last time I checked it hot with about a 20 minute drain-back it was about the middle of the hashes. I checked it cold yesterday and it was below the hashes. This concerned and confused me since I had not driven it much since my previous hot-check. I added about 3/4 quart to near the top of the hashes then drove it a while. First quick check (hot, no drainback) and it was above the top of the hashes. After sitting 15 minutes, went and checked again and it was still above the hashes.
So, why would it indicate that much lower cold than hot? Was I hallucinating the low cold reading?
