Is this oil level ok approximately 3400 miles into OCI?

    This is the level it was at after a 2 hour drive. I let it sit for 10-15 minutes before checking after the drive. It’s about 3400 miles since my oil change and I do use 0w20 Valvoline.

    It looks low from the blurry picture. Next time check your oil before starting on a level surface

    Did you check the oil level after the oil change?

    Anyone able to guesstimate how many quarts it’s down by? I know when I check it during the first 3000 miles OCI, it was right at the top mark. I checked this in my driveway which is mostly grassy.

    Ok, here’s a picture. I know it’s blurry but I drew a line where my level is. The blue line represents the level.

    None....
    Anywhere between your red lines is good. If at or near lower red line you should add some to bring it closer to top red line. But it is still the safe range.

    What brought this on? Seems odd to post a thread with a pic of oil between the two dots asking if the level is okay…

    Thiss Exactly this I've seen a few of these lately

    Change your oil with oil and bring the level to anywhere between the dots. This just doesn't seem verry complicated to me and I'm pretty simple guy
