Omitting a dipstick on a modern car that uses no oil between services is certainly not so bad as the manufacturer either suppling a very dangerous low speed wheel and tyre as a spare, or even just an aerosol can.

I agree, but what about when the "modern" car has put a lot of miles on the clock and starts to use oil. I wonder how reliable some of these digital gizmos will be in the longer term??.

Or do we just scrap the car when the main dealers no longer want to know.?

My wife's new Lexus hybrid has a lifetime warrantee that can be passed onto the new owner ( provided that the main dealer does all the servicing etc!).

Incidentally, her car has "run flat" tyres. Surprised
