Is it just me or is it sometimes not very easy to read the level of oil in this?

 

I tried it numerous times and it seems to me, you run the engine warm, stop leave for a while, then read it..the oil doesnt cover the dipstick properly for a decent readin, its on the wire, and also barely over the full length up to F but if i wipe it and do it again it then is low..its very unpredictable...Ryans done my crankshaft seal, so im still checking the levels as ive still got some oil under the motor (but it could have been rfom before)

 

Just seems a bit difficult to get a decent level check....

:( Yep, not the best things to read, none are that correct, which is a shame....:(

the last time i got what i thought was a decent reading, I then did an oil change and only half a litre poured out...Subsequently gave the car to ryan to have the big end sorted, even he didnt realise he thought it sounded like injectors...please gawd dont let it happen again...

Im not sure if my car has too much autobox oil in it or its down low as there is oil on the dipstick way past the full mark, but knowing me im reading it wrong and the f all in there :(

no wonder they recommend oil changes every 3/4k its the only sure way of telling if its got any lol

Never had much trouble with mine, except when the oil is brand new and still clean.

Mine's fine too.

I twist it through 360 degrees before removing.
