Yes, the engine was warm, and I added cold oil for the change.

I'm pretty exact on oil level. I use a measuring cup to add oil for an oil change.

And I check the oil level every time I ride, using the method outlined in the CSC Blog.

The level is always between the two marks on the sight glass.....this is the first time it wasn't.
