One thing you can do if its a pain finding somewhere that's flat or the place you go is a bit of a drive. Go to the flat place and top up to the F level. When you get home to your normal parking spot dip and see where the level is. Remember this level or put a mark on your dip stick for next time.
How do you think we manage here ??????????????????????

I've got somewhere flat just around the corner though so it's not so bad.
It's never actually needed topping up but I like to check

I can't believe this thread.
A prerequisite for taking oil level is er..... a bl**dy spirit level !!!!!!!!!!!!
Subaru Owner's Manual:
Checking Oil Level:
1) Put car on level ground;
2) Ensure ground is level by putting spirit level halfway between front and rear tyres;
3) Ensure spirit level is correctly positioned by measuring distance between front wheels and spirit level and spirit level and rear wheels;
4) use a certificated measuring instrument to verify (3) above;
5) Reference Scoobynet and determine which method of measurement you wish to apply to determine depth of oil within sump.
6) Apply said method.
7) Post and see how many agree.
