Inaccurate oil measurement

[mkv_ppf]

Just finished a regular drive in my Supra (no pulls or hard driving) and checked my oil

After that I turned off my engine for 5 min, started it again and checked again after the engine was running for another 5 min

someone have any explanation for this? Should I add more oil?
There is always a risk of overfilling.
What is the right way to check?

What's the problem?

Edit: Oh, first image. Yeah. Seems fine. And yes. you can hurt the engine with too much oil.

It shows different results even tho I did not drive hard or added any oil

With a dip stick you should wait a few minutes after the engine ran and before checking, so oil has time to get back in the pan. For an electronic level sensor, I’m not so sure how it works (level? Pressure? Debit meter?)

So what’s wrong with my measurements? Haha
why did it show different results

No idea how these cars measure the oil... but normally on other cars you let the car sit for a few minutes to let the oil drain back into the oil pan before checking the dip stick. Your first test was probably the oil just still in the head and other varies passages.

I would dismiss the second reading and do it again after a 30-min drive.
