Hi guys,

Just wondering when is the best time to check our VTEC engine oil & is the most accurate.

1. Check early in the morning as engine cool down since last night.

or

2. After cameback from town & let the engine cool down 10-15 mins & check.

Some foreman said number 1 & some foreman said number 2.

Any sifus here can enlighten me?

1 is the best, 2 also can. both same thing. but i would say 1 is more convenient, as u do it first thing before u start the car.
