When I check mine I do it about 3 times as i've noticed you can get false readings sometimes as the dipstick rubs against the tube taking a bit of oil off it:doh

Mine sounds a lot more "tappety" since I've done an oil change, I did use a different grade though, was a lot quieter when I was using 10 40 Mineral
