The oil indicator does not joke, the oil decreases, the full shows you take the engine in hand, it does not matter that it shows correctly 2 days, it is important to show it wrong once,

There is no problem in the oil, it does not diminish.

It can change according to the location of the vehicle. According to downhill, uphill or flat ground. But if it is shown differently on the same ground, it does so because of the oil mucur.

Bidets some masters fill such an oil that almost until they get stuck. They did so after my maintenance, I would have even crossed the max line, now between the two lines

you can not trust that customer very much, you can check yourself every time.

In order to make accurate measurements, the vehicle must be in a flat place (curved on the sidewalk) and the engine must have stopped at least 2 hours ago. Of course, if the system is intact, see these.

It is a very market master who put excess oil in order to ensure his job and cause oil leakage from crank seals. Excessive amount of everything is harmful. There is no law or rule that the most level will be at the max level. No need to push the limits of max (maximum) by name. Above max-min is sufficient

He did the same thing in my 307 after periodic maintenance. When I first switched on the ignition, sometimes it showed full and sometimes one tooth. I even asked the master on the phone, even the situation. "You don't trust that digital display. You check with the stick. If there is no leak, no problem." Then he recovered spontaneously. Even now, a tooth is missing regularly. I was going out the other day. Although it showed a missing tooth before I came out, I did not trust and checked it with a stick. The oil was very slightly above the Max line. I don't trust that indicator since I bought the car. I recommend to you too. Smile

I think you reduce it a little. It is not very good to pass Max's line. Excess oil causes the indicator to be burned and harmful to the engine.

From the recommended oil in the catalog, the recommended amount (4 liters) was put. Even before I put it all, he continued by checking with a stick. I think he probably knows what he's doing. Smile The part that already exceeds the max line on the rod is probably no more than 1-2mm. Not so much.

Although I also take into account the information given by the client, I regularly check the oil dipstick every Sunday.
I think the most guaranteed method is the old method :)
