Hi,
IMHO, they're not all that accurate, others disagree.
But, in any event there are so many conditions which must be met to insure accuracy - Engine OFF, Car on Level Ground (do you carry a Bubble Level with you?), sufficient time to allow Oil to drain, Oil at operating Temperature, etc. that if you're one of the lucky few who has a Dipstick ('97-'03), refer to it when determining when to add and only use the digi-gauge as a convenience...
