I keep getting a message saying that I need to top up my oil when I know that it doesnt need it as it was recently filled.

I have done the usual by driving for a few miles then waiting a short while then checking it on the electronic dipstick. lt tells me that its low and that it needs to be topped up by 0.5 litres. Last time this happened it actually stated that I had over filled it.

Is this a common fault with the electronic dipstick as I am 100% certain that I havent used over 4 litres of oil in as many weeks..

its a 2018 V40 D3
