None if you lay car on its side haha so if you pull dipstick out and you may be able to reference its level that way are you trying to replace sensor if it was me I would loosen drain plug and let some fluid drain just to be sure

Jack up the side of the car the sensor is on, if it's not over filled you're fine.

TAKE IT TO THE BANK!!!!!

Use a finger over the hole, might lose a little just have to be fast. We would do oil pan drain plugs like this if the seal was leaking. Just do it cold.

Glide fluid level is typically right at the top of pan. Many who run a deep pan with extra capacity will run it a little lower.

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
