Stuwy has made me paranoid about checking my oil, are you supposed to check when engine is hot or cold?

    But don't do it straight after turning the engine off.

    Good shout bob, in the manual and it says to check when engine is at operating temp but after a couple of mins of stopping to allow oil to accumulate in the sump. Checked mine when it was cold and is showing full. Will check again if I get a chance to drive her tomorrow

    Oil when cold was full, at temp it dropped one bar. Topped up now showing full at operating temp. Garage must have filled her up cold, but due to the overheating problem forgot to recheck when hot. Sorted. Now the final rattle.....the driverd window!
