Good! Now you have read your owners manual.Seems like I have been getting mainly INCORRECT advice here! Most are saying to check when engine is COLD.
I just checked my owner's manual and it clearly states to check the oil after the engine reaches operating temperature, turn off the engine, wait 5 minutes, check oil. Also says to only add oil if the level is at or near the ADD mark! I am thinking I am NOT burning excessive oil. There seems to be no signs of that, at least so far.
Maybe this thread will fizzle out.
