If the cars reasonably level what you see on the dip stick will be fine.

just check it at the servo or something where you check the air pressure, that's normally pretty level.

It's not like you need to check the oil too regularly.

Are VN's that finicky, you have about a litre from the low to high mark,

but hey the radiator cap would be a good spot, as water is always level ;)

If the ground is sloped how will putting the 'bubble' anywhere in the car change the 'level' of the ground ?:confused:

Where would I put it ? I wouldn't. More likely to use that to set up a vinyl record turntable.
