I know I could check the dipstick thanks to Mark's DIY video but was wondering if anyone has experienced this before or knows how to reset so save me the bother!!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mine was like this for about 10 days which I assumed was due to the low mileage I do (< 10 per day) and the computer not having the data to calculate a long term reading. Now back to + 1.0L which is what it was at before.

Try going for a longer run (that's when mine seemed to reset) although I could be talking utter p*sh!

I had issues in the recalibration state ( -.-L ) generating a short term reading as well but all OK now (fingers crossed). Is going in for an oil service this week in any case.
