Dunno, probably just throw a dash warning, otherwise the roads would be littered with breakdowns, as most of the numpties driving tintops today NEVER check anything or even lift the bonnet

I must admit I have never put any oil into our Mini Cooper D in close to 50,000 miles and still have the unopened litre of 0W30 in the boot as it's never asked for top up, confirmed by dipstick. It has had scheduled services though but only four so far from near new.
