    Default Checking your oil

    There is no such thing as a dumb question, just dumb answers. With that said, when checking your oil should you screw the dipstick all the way back down to get a reading or not?

    Chief Joe,

    You are warming the engine before checking? Not just sitting and idling; but, taking it out for a ride.
