Checking oil level

[BuilderBob]

The owner's manual isn't specific. Is the oil level checked with the dipstick screwed all of the way in, or with just the threads touching? I've had vehicles that required one method, and some that used the other.

Thanks. That's the way I was leaning. Didn't want to overfill.
