Default Saturn Ion 2007 - When to Check engine oil ( Cold or Warm Engine ? ))

I have Saturn Ion 2007 2.2 ltr .

Just curious....When to check Engine oil ?
Cold Engine (in early morning). OR Warm Engine (After running for few mins and settles for few mins). ?

I have tried both ways and always oil level is different. It would be great help if someone give me answer.

Well, keep in mind that I'm NOT a mechanic, but I've been working on my own cars for over 50 years. I have always checked the oil in my cars while the engine is cold. Transmission fluid should be checked when the engine is hot.

Yes that seems like a good idea. I will follow it to check oil when engine is cold.
Thank you for the reply !!

You're welcome. Don't be afraid to stick around and ask questions. How else are you going to learn about your car?
