Hello All - is there a readout for the oil level available anywhere on the dashboard, or is it a case of checking the dipstick?Cheers

Am sure there's a warning light on dashboard if it sees low oil pressure.Good to check dipstick not just for the obvious though; if it shows a rising level (on diesels) fromyour last check, can indicate DPF problems and excess diesel being diverted here and 'watering' downyour oil.The recommended oil is pretty expensive too by the way if you'd done no research.
