Some people that use power units on irrigation engines and may run them 24 hours a day for several days without shutting them off. I suppose that's why the dipstick is marked for the engine running -- I have never seen one. You can't just stop an irrigation engine, check the oil, dump in a quart, and restart. Many pumps (pump, not the engine), run in reverse for a while while the water drains out of the pump into the well. (There is likely an enviornmental control on that now)-- maybe that's the reason, I don't know. The dipstick probably shows that you have enough oil, but does not measure it accurately.
