Correct answer
With the engine stopped, on level ground, following the manual’s temperature and waiting-time requirements.
Park on level ground, stop the engine and follow the temperature and waiting time specified in the manual for a valid reading. Many engines are checked cold or after allowing oil to drain back into the sump; a cold engine is not a universal requirement for every model. Clean the dipstick, fully reinsert it and withdraw it to read the level as specified by the manufacturer. Do not exceed the maximum mark. Electronic systems may require different measurement conditions.
