This is my second vehicle with only an electronic dipstick, an after some initial impulsive frustration at not having any conventional dipstick at all, I must admit that the electronic dipstick has won me over. It is definitely a better way.
Think about it for a second. It would be like having had no gas gauge, and having to check the gas dipstick to see what you had in the tank. Then some smart engineer came along and put in a gas gauge and eliminated the fuel dipstick. Some people would inevitably complain. They were used to the gas dipstick. It was a ritual. They don't trust the gas gauge.
I happily accept the electronic oil gauge. Frankly, with the technological advancements in modern vehicles, if they hadn't come up with this, I'd probably have started to wonder why I had to open the hood and find a rag to check the oil. Shouldn't I be able to do that just by pressing a button?
Indeed I should.
