It's amazing how we are conditioning to read the oil level on a dipstick, gives us a digital display and somehow, we still yearn for the missing dipstick........even when we find the cars very oil efficient and not had to top them up.

Same here, just been serviced at Malvern and indicated 5/4, why it's not 4/4 is beyond my understamding.

I just think its a matter of trust and good practice.Good practice to check the oil with a dipstick and no trust in the digital fandango sorry but there you are.

A very good mate of mine who sadly passed away had a brand new engine out of peugeot over a perod of a few thousand miles kept telling him to add oil turns out it was overfilled before imploding. It was hushed up three year old car no quibbles after a few e mails.
