What should I do if my dipstick is warm when I Change Oil?

Try letting the car sit for an hour or two, especially if it had a warmed-up engine prior to changing oil. Then try reading the stick. Some vehicles can be very “temperamental” in this regard. Also if the dipstick is warm, wave it around to cool it down before you check. Feel it with your hand and be sure it’s cool.
