Oil Check Question
I am parked in my work garage (on an incline). I walked out to my car and noticed some oil on the ground underneath the car. It does not appear to be from my car, but it is near the drain plug. I think it is just a coincidence. But the auto hypochondriac in me wants to just confirm.
Question, is there a way to check the oil while the car is parked on an incline? The front of the car is higher than the rear. Will this give me a lower or higher reading? The car has been parked for 3 hours. How does checking a cold engine compare with warm? Thanks! |
