probably right, but

I would check the oil level the way the manual describes. With a 97, you should still have the manual???

It probably says, check the level 1-2 minutes after turning a completely warm car off.

With synthetic oil, there is enough oil film on the engine that the level in the pan may not be accurate until 12 hours following shutdown, so you then may want to check it cold the next morning following shutdown.

That is what I have read recently....
