Oil level unavailable??

[Lord Glave]

Just bought the car and I'll be honest, I didn't check a few things I guess I should have because they did an oil change, new pads, and detail,etc. However it's at home in the garage and I pulled up the oil capacity and it says UNAVAILABLE. Does this mean it's to low to register or something else is wrong?

[Lord Glave]

I might add. I'm turning the car on but not starting it like I've read is necessary. I'm assuming I'm just doing something wrong

Yes that’s right, you do have oil
You have to get it to normal operating temperature then park up on the flat for at least 10 mins before you can correctly check the oil level.

It's very sensitive to being level, too, any slight incline and it'll report over- or under-filled, depending on direction of slope.

Whoa. Okay! I'll try again! Thank you

.... Or if your patience is thin like mine you can shortcut the 10 minute wait and get an instantaneous reading by:

Engine off, of course.

1. Pop the Bonnet
2. Turn on the ignition
3. Scroll through trip settings
4. Stop on oil level indicator
5. Push the Cancel button on the steering wheel two times in quick succession.”

To resume avarage readings, just press the cancel button twice again.
