more goings-on with the oil level today.

had the oil changed halfway through the interval to keep it fresh.

after the change the display updated to +0.7 and left it for 30-40 miles to settle. Wanted to get it to around +1 so stuck in between 0.2 and 0.3 of top-up.

100 miles later it went to +1.1, then within 20 miles it cycled down through +1.0 then +0.9 - so I ended up with an extra 0.2 as planned.

I'm just wanting to check the computer's ability to measure the oil - have 1500+ miles coming up to Scotland and back and need the car to be fully on song.

It looks like the computer is highly accurate, but should I trust it 100% ?

thanks.
