Checking oil thru the computer, what should it read?

[motoadve]

I got the oil lamp on and off twice this weekend, the oil change is not due for another 1500 miles.

I checked the red stick and is a little above the bottom .
Checked thru the computer and reads -1.5 , but thats what the manual says it should read.
Mybe Im wrong here.

What should it read ?

Should read 0

-1.5 means it's down 1.5 quarts

I believe it should read "0i1 10", which actually equates to 1.0, meaning a full, just as the fuel gauge reads “1/1� at full.

Mine Reads OIL 1.0 where the '1' is only half height, i.e. one segment rather than two.

It has been suggested several times on this forum that "i.0" means "in order". In other words "OK".

Or possibly 'In Ordnung'.
