I found on other forums that electronic gauge has some latency, it cannot immediately recognise new oil level after topping up or draining - it takes 3 driving cycles or at least 30 km drive and 2 hours rest on flat surface for DIM to display new oil level - until these conditions are fulfilled "oil level not available" will be shown.
The optimal level after oil change should be cca. 37 mm (+- 4 mm).

Thanks, I'll do as you suggest and provide an update.
I do seem to be a long way off 37mm though!
