If it's parked on level ground overnight, check it first thing in the morning after everything has settled 99.999%. Pull it out once and check it. After that, you may or may not get good readings due to cold oil that would have been dragged up into the tube from the first time pulling it out.
The oil is very clean due to frequent oil changes.I will keep it on level ground and only check iy after it sits all night.Thanks guys.
Clean it and use colered chalk. Jerry
