No physical dipstick for engine oil level
Someone commented on another MINI forum (at Gab.com) that MINIs are known to "drink" engine oil, and per them, by the time the oil light comes on, the engine is toast.
OK, I think, let's check the oil level now then, only to discover there is no oil dipstick on my MINI with which to do so.
Instead, there is an electronic option on page 270 of my 2022's manual:
Via the Central Information Display (CID):
1. "My MINI"
2. "Vehicle status"
3. "Engine oil level"
The engine oil level is displayed.
Sharing, in case I'm not the only one here who didn't already know that...
