Is it just me but is the dipstick rubbish!! They say check the oil often but they don't make it very easy. As far as i can tell not used a drop in 600 miles.

I haven't used a drop in over 8500 miles. Good 'innit ?.

Same here, 4500km and not a drop.

Dipstick is bit tricky. When I push it back in, I always need to turn it a couple of times. Seems it only fits facing one way, but I keep forgettin which one.

Must agree with the observations, the diamond cut shaped dipstick is not the easiest to read properly.

I've not used a drop either - as far as I can tell.
