What could be the reasons for you not being able to read your car’s oil level

The waiting period is to allow all the oil to drain back into the oil pan. If it were measured immediately after shutting off it, it would read low because some of the oil is not in the pan. It also won’t let you check level while the engine ( oil) is cold, it only measures at operating temp (oil expands as it gets warmer like everything else ). And sometimes trying to check oil level too fast causes it remember to check it on a flat level area.
