I let it idle for 20-30sec, so that the oil drops down. Checking oil usually takes 4sec.

This is what mine does , however it usu takes me about 30 secs or so to make sure im on my lift centered , then about 4 secs to check. When I did my oil change 400 kms ago I was right at the full , i checked last time out when filling up and it was into the overfil bar, today i checked it on my lift again=level car and it was back down at the full mark......so I must not have been on a level section of road and I must be at the top side of the full mark
