[Healeys] Oil loss

[Jean Caron]

The manufacturers do it this way to force you to go to the dealership if there are any issues, the corner garages and shop will be gone in less than 10 years.

Yeah, I went to check the oil in my wife's 2015 BMW, no dipstick. I talk into a mechanic I know and he told me they don't have them anymore. Later on I bought a 2015 Mini Cooper s, again, no dipstick. The way you check the oil on this one is you have to be on a perfectly flat surface with the card operating temperature and running, then you step through the menu and there's something on there about checking the oil it takes one or two minutes and comes back and tells you how full it is. Personally, I think the whole thing defies logic, the dipstick was easier. Plus, in a pinch, you always had something to stick the marshmallows on at the fire pit.

I had a very interesting incident with my Audi A6 turbo.

I started the car a few mornings ago and after about 5 minutes, the dashboard screen popped up a message saying "Caution reduce your oil level.  Contact your dealer."   I was somewhat surprised at the message, thinking someone snuck into my garage overnight and added oil to the engine.  So, I decided to check the oil level.  After lifting the hood, I could not find the dipstick for the oil or for the transmission.  I called the dealer who told me to drive the car very slowly to the dealership.  At the dealership, the car was examined (electronically I suppose) and I was told everything was fine.  I was informed that the radar sensors in the front grill sometimes get too wet and could cause false oil messages.

I was told that my car does not have oil and transmission dipsticks.  It seems that the computers read everything and flash messages when something is wrong.

So, check the moisture content of the radar sensors in the front grill of your Healey if your car gives you an oil level message.

I'm just mentioning,
