    Measuring oil level D300 HSE MHEV MY22

    D300 HSE MHEV MY22

    I wasted a lot of time looking for the digital oil level display and it was nowhere to be found.

    I then discovered that this supposedly high tech engine on a top of the range model has a DIPSTICK !!!

    I hate dipsticks. No matter how careful I am with wiping off, the level always seems to be smeared and ambiguous.

    Since the digital oil level display is available in some engines, I'm astonished to find it missing

    I'm surprised by this, just had a look in the manual and indeed it says the 2.0L petrol and diesel engines have a dipstick. So I guess it's just the 3.0L petrols which do not... Surprised also, I think it must be like 10+ years since I've had a car with a dipstick...

    I guess at least it's one less electronic part that can fail Laughing

    Yes, as you say - many years since I last used a dipstick also !

    I only remember to check the oil level about a mili second after pressing the start button. Then it's not available. Sad

    I prefer a dipstick. Sometime you just don’t need to over complicate things and I’ve had both.
