that means oil level is fine.
the lines are the lines on your dip stick, if the last line line to the right goes then your 1 fifth of a litre of oil short from being full of oil. look in your hand book.

It doesnt, the boxes are the amount of oil, the oil level in that picture is nearly on the min!

I must have the older bsi software, because my oil level sensor is about as much use as a waterproof teabag! Id get a more acurate reading if i asked a psychic to read some tea leaves and tell me the level!! :

Don't forget you need the BSI update, so your oil sensor will be s**te
Use the dipstick anyway

always use the dip stick mate, only a dip stick wouldnt use a dip stick. them sensors play up all the time., i change the oil evry 5k on my cars so it dont get much chance of running low any way.

Sorry to go off topic, just a quick question about the bsi update, does puegeot automatically update the bsi software if needed when taken in for service or is it something thats needs requesting when booking the car in
Never had any problems with mine unless i park at the top of the drive thats on an incline then it reads a little low but i always check the stick anyways

The lines are NOT the level, RTFM, the box shapes are the amount of oil on the gauge.

As said above, the level indicator in the photo is showing a low level.

As you were the only one to offer wrong advice on the subject, you mean you've worked it out now
