The interesting thing about the oil level is that it does not give a reading right away, it just shows a clock. Eventually, after say 10 minutes, it does give a reading. I've never been able to prove this, but my theory is that the system will not provide a reading until the engine has reached operating temperature. This is definitely a workaround, but maybe worth knowing.

I don't believe you can take the level reading in motion. You must be stopped and on a level surface. That is the just the electric way of replacing the dipstick. And it takes longer then being able to do it manually. So i ask any of those who say technology is advancing?? Not on this one haha it went backwards.
