I would happily pay someone to put a dipstick on to my engine. I do not understand why we need to have an electronic system. Even my mini has the same electronic system to check the oil level. I mean, how hard is it to flip the bonnet, retrieve dipstick, wipe, reinsert, and read. If you can’t manage that, you shouldn’t be allowed to drive a car. Grrrr rant over

Hi zebedee. Not sure if it’s a typo or just a guess at your oil quantity 7.2 litres. It’s actually 9.5 litres on the 4.4. Just done mine last weekend

Yes, you're right. Checked the required quantity and put that in. What came out was the same so I don't believe I'm using a lot of oil. Current:
