250 Dipstick problems?

  1. Sorry, I have searched but no one appears to be as much of an idiot as me...

    Does anyone else find the twisty dipstick really hard to read?

    Checking my 'new' car, the oil appeared to be on minimum on the dipstick - 1 litre in and I think it is now ok but really struggling to get a clear reading.

    Any tips??

    Thanks!

  2. new oil is difficult to see on a skinny stick, suggest leave overnight so its cold and try again in morning when oil is thick and clings better. problem wont last for long, oil soon takes on darker colour.
     
  3. Thanks mate. Fingers crossed it isn't over now
