Question about ...

So I am still :thmsup: loving my 08 V6 EX-L

I have a question, my driveway has a pretty decent slope to it. I checked my oil the other day and noticed that it just barely covered the tip of the dipstick, actually it freaked me out, and I backed my car down to the street and rechecked, to my relief it was ok on a flat street. Is it bad to be starting the car alot with the oil tipped back away from the dipstick for lack of a better description.

I also noticed what looked like steam coming out of the tailpipes, it was approx mid 50's does that sound normal.

Your fine, the oil gets moved around into the motor as it runs, just where the oil stick sits is not levels with the pan so you get that incorrect reading.

You should be fine.
