Was checking the manual for a newer Infiniti and saw the wording and the "more than 15 minutes" caught my attention. Turns out Infiniti/Nissan has used the same wording for 10+ years and the key part is "more than". Yeah, 20 minutes is more than but an hour is okay too. So is 10 hours.

this is what it says in the manual:
"CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
apply the parking brake.
2. Run the engine until it reaches operating
temperature.
3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than 15
minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil
pan.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
Reinsert it all the way."

1. Ensure engine has been off more than 15 minutes.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
Reinsert it all the way, remove and observe oil level.
A whole bunch of fluff to make it sound official and professional, anything but the simple task that it actually is.
