The problem is the vast majority of volvo drivers just drive their cars from one service to the next and hardly ever open the bonnet. Let alone getting their hands dirty to check oil levels. That's why the instrument is there to make it easy for them and warn them if there is a loss for what ever reason....

That minor problem you would have spotted 10K miles ago is now going to cost you a fortune. Call me cynical but I'd say its more about generating work for the dealer network than driver convenience.

If those that never lift the bonnet from one service to the next decide to open the bonnet, they still can't check the oil level anyway because there's no physical dipstick?
