I doubt anything else will be affected if you do nothing, and if nothing else goes out, you don't have to come out of pocket to fix this issue.

Your conventional dipstick works nicely and my Porsche tech doesn't really put much stock in the digital one anyway because it reads so differently depending on when you measure your oil level... the motor should be off for 1/2 hour and on a level surface to get an accurate read with the digital oil level gauge.

BTW, you can buy a cluster off eBay for $250 from time to time. Keep an eye out for the one you need based on your part number. Each model year requires it's own version, so they're typically not swappable between MY's. Some are new and unprogrammed and it's just $100 at the dealer to do it. Others require reprogramming, which can be done through Palo Alto Speedo in California.
