    when's the last time the oil was changed? is it super clean? is the vehicle level when you check it?

    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.
