Default New C30 Owner

Hello everyone
I have been lurking round this site for a while whilst looking for the right C30 for me. I have finally bought a 2011 C30 R design D3 Orange Flame with all black interior lots of extras too, sunroof, premium sound etc.
Very impressed so far. The only thing I don't like is the electronic dipstick I am aware of rising oil levels on the 5 cyl engines so when I picked it up I checked the electronic oil level which showed full, the volvo service guy assured me the oil level was correct and would only drop to 50% when the oil level went down, but how do I check if it is going up I asked ? the engine warning light will come on he replied, Hmmm not good. he did say there was a ( real dipstick ) for servicing but wouldn't say where. Now call me old fashioned but I like to shove a long piece of metal into a hole in the engine pull it out and look at the gold stuff, could anybody tell me where this service dipstick is. Think it could be like the photo.
Thank You
