Stop moaning, get on ebay and get the workshop dispstick, they come with a printed list of where the oil reading should be for all engines. As mentioned make sure you get the dipstick for the engine oil and not transmission.
As mentioned they system is designed to measure the the oil warm. So let the car warm up, turn off, wait 5 mins (hence the message you get). Then dip your stick!
It obv has oil in it but is the correct amount.
the measuremens go by the engine model and not the cc
all very interesting, but not getting me any nearer checking my oil.....
Hello and welcomeTo make sure the oil level is correct, drain the oil and refill the correct amount, should then tell you if the sensor is working.
Hello and welcome
You can’t drain all the old oil easily so if you refill with what the book states then you’ll most likely overfill which is very bad
actually car will tell you pretty accurately amount of oil w/o dipstick if you do the following:
1. turn off the engine for more than 10 min after its warm
2. turn the key to first position
3. press the reset button quickly 3 times.
4. you should see battery voltage displayed
5. Press UP arrow on s/wheel
6. turn Key to second position w/o statring engine
7. you should see Oil amount (metric) be displayed
