This is why I paid £63 to equip my D5 with a full sized police spec physical dipstick.
My electronic guage said 100% physical check on technicians dipstick showed barely above min. As I was about to tow 450 miles to Scotland was not impressed. Topped up to 3/4 up the hatching and stopped worrying.
Now do not use the dash gauge, dip the oil the old fashioned way and am sure what's in there.
It also allows you to do the finger and nose tests on the oil.
Paul.
