Halfway between the two marks (low and full) with a warm engine--i.e., one that has been run and then left to sit for a few minutes. A common mistake is to fill it to the top level at the oil change (cold engine). That will result in too high a level when the engine is hot. Obviously, you shouldn't let oil get below the "low" mark on the dipstick.

How do you read the oil dip stick?

Oil level should be taken when the engine has stood still for some time, better over night, to allow oil in the upper level to sink back into the oil sump. Wipe the dip stick and push it into the pipe from which it had been removed initially. Pull the dip stick out and inspect the oil level. There should be a minimum and a maximum level marked on the dip stick. If the oil level is near the minimum mark, add more oil, but don't pour too much oil in.

What would cause your engine to knock after an oil change and a run right cleaning?

First thing that you should do is check and see what your oil level is. If you have over filled the the vehicle with oil this will cause the engine to knock, and cause further damage to your engine. Make sure that vehicle is on level ground and check the oil dip stick. The oil lubricating the dip stick should not be beyond the full mark. If it is remove the drain plug from the oil pan to bring the oil to the proper level.
