182 Engine Oil level

[rory182]

OK, I feel like theres something I dont know about my 182...

I know how to check oil physcially, this isnt a problem.

When I start my 182 it says Oil OK which is always good to see! But is there any kind of oil level indicator in the car? My mates 1.2 16v tells him the level apparently...

Does the 182 have similar? If so where and how?

One thing Ive not tried is pressing the trip computer function button at the point when the oil ok message is displayed.

Id go outside and try this but its raining and im on here anyway

on the 172 you press the trip computer button when the oil ok message appears and it shows u the oil level. Assume its the same on a 182.

ALWAYS check the dipstick; dont rely on the elctronic level all the time.

as tim 010 says when it says oil ok press the instrument panel button once,the level display then comes up.

excellent, thanks guys. Yeah I dont rely upon electronics - particularly not French ones but its likely to be a good indicator.

Cheers
