Ideally it should be turned off for at least 10 minutes to allow the oil to settle before checking. HTH.

If you need to top up, be very patient. I filled mine from near-empty in a hurry recently and overfilled the car slightly - it smoked and ran like a dog for about two weeks afterwards. Add incrementally and give it a few minutes before taking a new reading.

HTH.
