Anyways I checked it this morning While cold And it shows like super low on the dipstick

I want to logically understand this If there's no oil in your internals Then it's all in your oil Pan So if you put your dip stick in Wouldn't it show an accurate level?


Anyways after driving to work 30 minutes dong about 100

I checked it again about 10 minutes later of sitting off

Now it shows high, I read all these debates whether you're supposed to do it when it's hot or its cold
And honestly I just wanna Just logically understand it And know whether or not I'm good on oil And not be freaking out and put a court in when I don't need to......

Thanks and sorry for sounding like an idiot


btw 7,800 miles
