This may raise the oil level,
creating a false reading on the
engine oil dipstick.
For example, in a vehicle that has
accumulated 1,500 km of short
distance or intermittent city
operation and has consumed a
normal amount of oil, the level may
not have dropped from the area/
mark (B), due to dilution. If this
vehicle is driven for some distance
at highway speeds on a warm day,
the dilution elements evaporate,
resulting in a sudden drop in oil
level.
