It's the amount you need to add to bring it up to minimum". I had forty fits and thought of all those miles I'd driven with supposedly low oil, so I added some. The reading didn't change at all. I then went back to them and spoke to someone else who said they didn't have a clue what the first person told me and that it was completely wrong. I booked the car in for a warranty change of the level sensor. They even messed that up by not filling the car sufficiently so that the yellow light came on when I was about 2 miles into the journey home!
However, once sorted the readings then remained at the required 0.8 for the rest of the time that I owned the car, which I stupidly then sold in 2012. All of that fag was before I started using Murketts and then Elms. Motto of the story is two-fold: the oil level sensor can play up and don't trust your CSL to just any dealer as most of them are muppets.

I recently changed my sensor too but the problem continues. Does the new sensor need some type of calibration from ECU or is it just plug and play ?
