Wonder if anyone can help... My CSL is circa 36K miles, just come back from holiday to start the CSL after a weeks abscence.

According to the reading on my dash my next service is due in 8500 miles, which is fine, however when i flip to my oil reading the oil level is --I-- basically showing nothing and also states 'oil service'.

So confused, as the dash is sayin im not due a service, then the oil level is not reading but also showing oil service. Does anyone know what this means? As the dash appears to be contradicting itself.. and im concerned with a null reading on the oil levels especially as i dont have a dipstick!

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.As KARBON KID says,this is normal,it always says oil service when you check your oil.Go for a nice drive,the reading will come back.;)

Unless there's a pool of oil on the garage floor i wouldn't worry! Quite normal as the others say.
