But the need to reset the level on every oil change at a dealer is pure greed. A dipstick allows home servicing, which apart from the manufacturer interference is easier than ever before. In the days of greasing nipples all over axles and ball joints, checking valve clearances and timing etc, servicing was for the more experienced home mechanic, but there is no reason for it to be inappropriately complex on a modern car. Unless the manufacturer’s business model is to screw the owner after the sale....
