I was at a gas station today and I saw a guy who was probably in his mid-60's pull up into the gas station, he hops out of his car and pops the hood. He checks his oil, and then he adds 1 quart of Amsoil Motor Oil, I only mention the motor oil because I knew members would be asking what brand of motor oil he was pouring into his engine.
Regardless of whatever motor oil he was pouring into his engine, I was taught that you should check your oil when the engine is cold, because if you check the oil when the engine is hot you will get an incorrect reading since some of the oil can still be in the top of the engine.
I felt like saying something, but I kept quiet.
