I was told there was no dipstick as well. It’s a load of tosh. If you look at the front of the engine block from under the bonnet, down at the bottom centrally left to right, there is a ‘service’ dipstick that the tech’s can use. It is awkward to get to and I’d hate to try and use it after a run because my arms would be burnt to heck! It is quite small when it comes out. If ever the oil warning light comes on, you can verify things with this dipstick. It is safe to take it out and check the oil, you do not risk causing any damage. After a short time of owning mine, the low oil message came on. Allegedly it is set up to quite sensitive levels. I always carry a 500ml top up bottle, always have done whatever the car, just in case. Just ensure you have the right spec’ oil as reserve. These days, warranty companies will test oil to ensure it is 100%. Any contamination, they won’t pay up! Also, drop the oil yearly. No excuses, it’s simply not worth it to do otherwise, false economy.
