oil top ups

[RC1]

For those that need to do you top up periodically or wait for the dash light to come on

[RC1]

I never wait but curious how some folks seems to be able to cite with apparent accuracy how much their car consumes. My dipstick at least has a range within both the min and max markers and I'm thinking at least for the min level the main oil level gauge is likely a more consisent reference point for the min level than the dipstick for you to then more accurately assess use?

...by noting the amount of oil added to get it bach up to the 'MAX' mark, probably using the gauge on the side of the bottle?

but the max mark is a notch of about 4-5mm in the dipstick
