Skoda car handbook… Check oil when engine is HOT?!

8K Posts


I’ve checked the oil when my engine is cold for 20+ years, because my dad taught me to. Happened to notice in our 2016 Skoda Superb (diesel) handbook that it says to check it when the engine is at full temperature! (But to wait “a few minutes” for the oil to drain back down.)
Is that right? On Googling the entire internet still seems to say you check oil when it’s cold. Is that just an old wives tale with modern engines though?!
Did everyone know this apart from me?!

Other car is a 2012 Audi so also VAG - I’ll have to see what that says. I’ve never in my life looked up how to dip a car before.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".
Park the vehicle on level ground. After warming up the engine
and turning it off, wait more than 5 minutes for the oil to drain
Next time I’ll dip it cold, then when warm immediately after the next journey, and see if there’s any difference at all in the level.
It's around 10% at 100c.
So if the level is meant to be read "hot" the mark on the dipstick would account for that.
Reading it cold would show it low, when it actually wasn't.
If you think the difference between high and low mark on a dipstick is usually around 500ml and a car that takes 6 litres can expand by 10%, taking a reading cold when it should be read hot could cause you to over fill by quite a way.
According to that website oil volume expands by 0.0007 per °C. Therefore a 100°C raise in temperature would increase the volume of 1 litre of oil by 0.07 litre, or 70 ml. That's 7% so your 10% estimate isn't too far adrift.
OK, you pour clean engine oil in and the guide gives a indication of how that unused engine oil reacts to heat, but after running your car it's no longer just engine oil.
Byproducts of combustion like barium and zinc, moisture, various heavy metal particles and unburnt fuel mix with it and they all expand and contract at different rates.
As this is a diesel there will always be fairly health proportion of diesel fuel in the engine oil either through combustion (passing the rings) or via post injection from DPF regeneration which expands slightly more more than straight oil (0.00083 per °C)
There will also be a large amounts of soot in the oil as well. (which is why clean engine oil goes black the instant a diesel engine is started)
Not only will all these have an effect on the volume of the oil you poured in, these "extras" all expands and contracts at different rates so have an effect on the level between hot and cold above that of clean unused oil.
