Level surface is very important, as a tad low in the front can cause a higher oil level reading & a lower reading if Z is parked with nose a bit higher......sorry for any confusion.

thank you very much this is helpful, this means my engine is in serious trouble and I need to get oil in it quickly, cause, the other guys oil is still full when dead cold on level ground and mine isn't, but following the manual it is what can this mean?

mine has lied to me before. add a bit of oil, check a again, then add more if needed.

mine was in the curved part. tossed a quart and a half in.......next check it was above the high level line.

however i am running a 34 row oil cooler so could be different for me.
