Question

As I live on a hill, its impossible to correctly check the oil level.

How long after stopping the engine on the flat would you allow for the oil to drain back to the sump before checking? I appreciate the oil will still be hot, but any ideas ?

BTW - STi8

Cheers

30mins, but if you live on a hill then you could leave it 4 days and it still wont read correctly
