Oil

[Rally Sport]

I have a question This morning I put a little oil in my Buick lacrosse cx 3.8 and when I checked it later today it was still in the same place on the dipstick.What would cause that?And it does not smoke or leak oil anywhere I can see and I also put clean cardboard all under the vehicle and it was still clean when I checked it.And I don’t know what else to do about it.

You have to check oil level on a cold engine so all the oil in upper areas has a chance to drain back.
How much did you add ?

It wasn’t very much and I waited about 15 minutes like they said to do.

Again, check it in the morning. Most oil bottles have a clear strip so you can judge whether you put in 4 oz, 8 oz, etc.

Well were I have to park at it leans towards the left and there is no other place for me to park over night plus there is no level spot on the place.
