It seems with my car ('74 2.0L dual carbs) I must let the car sit for at least 12 hours to get an accurate oil level reading on the dipstick. If I wait only 6 hours I get a bogus reading that is almost 1/3 quart on the low side. Is having to wait 12 hours to drain down into the pan after running excessive? Is this normal? I am using, and have always used, Castrol 20W-50 conventional oil and the ambient temp is around 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Running temps are normal as well as my CHT temps and I never find any excessive oil in the rebreather box. What have others experienced with this issue?
