Your car should not stall, but it may run rough when you remove the oil cap since it is a break in vacuum (mine does, but I have an '86). Read your owners manual carefully and do what it says. In general, the engine must be up to a certain temp before you can accurately check the oil level. At 140 deg F, mine should be between min and max on the dip stick, at 194 deg F, it should show full on the dip stick.
