I am looking at the directions on how to check the oil level on my 2019 F3L. The instructions on the sticker on the underside of the dip stick cover panel says ride nine miles, stop on level surface, LET IDLE 10 MINUTES, turn off engine, then check oil. The operators manual say the same thing except I should , LET THE ENGINE IDLE A MINIMUM OF 20 SECONDS. Big difference!

One video I watched says let the engine fan cycle once at idle, turn off engine and check.

I making an “educated guess” based on what I have picked up that the 10 minutes is closer to the correct time. Or basically, let the engine idle for a few minutes (5-10) then turn off engine and check oil.

Any comments are welcome.
