Hi there all. Just done 2000 miles in my Tig . I know this is a simple thing but the handbook says that you should check the oil level when the engine is at operating temp. I have done this and the level is near the top of the middle section of the dipstick. If I check it with a cold engine the level is half way down the section. Which is the correct way? I know it is not good to over fill. Mnay thanks from a novice!! David.

It has always been that you drain the oil when warm- but check it when cold.
After a run the oil drains back into the sump as it cools and so the maximum level can be checked. When it is hot you have no way of knowing how much oil is in circulation or still sat in areas around the engine- plus it is a safety hazard to check hot oil!
