Default Which side of oil dipstick is best indicator?
Sorry for posting a question that I'm sure has been answered but the search feature isn't working.

When I check my oil, the two sides of the dipstick give different readings. Which side is the more accurate indicator of how much oil you have?

Thanks.

people tend to say go withe the lower reading. My driver side is always half an X or a full X lower than the passenger side.
