why wouldnt you trust it ? Have you tested it by comparing the readout with the actual level ? easy enough . Remember it can take 20 miles to stabalise after an oil change . It is not just a float it sends ultrasonic waves from the bottom to the top of the oil and works out how long the signal takes to be bounced back and averages it out .. quite sophisticated ..
