This function is used to check the oil level in the engine.
The signal is an analogue signal from the oil level sensor. The value shows percent of allowed level. Negative values indicate an oil level below, then oil must be filled. 0% corresponds to min. on the oil dipstick and 100% corresponds to max. on the oil dipstick .
Values above 100% indicate that the engine is overfilled with oil, then oil must be drained.
0 % = min. oil level
100 % = max. oil level
Note:
Recommended volume at oil change from manufacturer corresponds to a value of 70%
