I was advised that the dipstick that you could buy, for about $ 60.00, was not permanent, but a shop tool only.
The reading of the stick is also a bit different, as the markings on stick are compared to a chart to determine oil level reading, depending on car's engine.
So....you could check the oil periodically, but stick stays in your garage or possibly in the trunk I suppose.
Use the instrument cluster as intended. It is EXTREMELY accurate and the sump probe measures actual oil level at 1 millimeter increments. I can assure you that no dipstick can read at that level of accuracy...
I got use to not having the dipstick. After a round of fluid changes I checked via the
dash and the special tool. I have total faith in the onboard oil level readings. Now I like it.
And yest the "special tool" dipstick is $60.
