When you check oil immediately after turning off the engine, the level will show LOWER than it actually is, not higher. This is because the oil that has been pumped up to the head takes time to drain back into the oil pan.

I would recommend waiting a while after running your car. You don’t want to end up burning yourself with hot oil somewhere between 185F and 212F…

Aren’t you supposed to change your oil filter along with any oil change? Or is this just for filling oil?
Adam Brewton
This just for adding oil, maybe you’re just a 1/2 quart low. No need to do a full oil and filter change if it’s only been 2k miles since your last one. Cars today are generally much better about not developing gasket leaks and wasting oil, but it does still happen.
