I was wondering where this 3 minute nonsense was coming from, then I read the manual
.
I think the manuals are written with service shops in mind, after three minutes it would be near enough to say job done.
I would never check the oil after three minutes in my own home environment all you will be doing is overfilling.
It reminds me of the French Autoroutes years ago where they checked your oil for you (yes, I am that old) at the fuel stations.
Dip your oil Monsieur. Non, sod off.
The ones that had their oils checked and topped up with the most expensive oil in Europe burnt it all away by the next stop. And so it continued.
Plus, friend, why are you changing the oil so early.
Upt'North.
