Discussion , oil level.....not oil

The dash gauge is very vague in mine. It can show anything from 2 bars to full bars depending on how long it's been sitting, where it is, and whether it's a nice day. Dipstick seems to work fine.

Same, mine is always all over the place. Made me nervous a few times when I first got the car.

Mine isn't that vague, but it does vary by a couple lines. Also, on a note to where things are heading...both our Audis don't even have dipsticks, just the electronic level (which I don't completely trust). The decision to remove the option of the owner checking oil is astounding, confusing, and just plain dumb. Next step...needing a special tool to open the hood. Grrrrr...
