I just bought my first CSL today, before I had a chance to view the Oil dipstick video, my problem being that I have purchased the vehicle as a second company car, and our company rules state that vehicle oil level should be checked daily !!... I think I shall rewrite them !

You can still do that via the onboard computer screen in the cluster and physically check it every month.

Alternatively there's another way to get to the dip stick without ripping the airbox out - but you'll need to remove a couple of other trims on the top corner and go through there (works for RHD cars only) - I've tried it once and it's okay and slightly faster.
