Exclamation V40 oil

Hi all how do you check your oil level on a v40? I have looked on my trip computer but the “oil level” is greyed out? I do not have a dip stick on my v40 which I find unusual I only purchased my car a few weeks ago! Any help is appreciated

Manufacturers have been replacing the good old trusty dip stick with electronics since around 2005.... Some cars, if you are lucky, you may have a dipstick tube blanked off for which you can buy a dipstick. Its easy for manufacturers do do this, with modern stuff generally burning more oil means more cars will be run low on oil and then the aftermath is imminent.
