Advice needed... dipstick or oil level warning light, which is more important?
The reason I ask is: My 602 block didn't come with a hole for the dipstick, it's dipstick originally was installed on the oil pan, which I replaced. I can fill up the engine with the correct amount of oil per the owner's manual (8L initial fill) and just rely on the oil level warning... OR I can install a dipstick in place of the oil level sending unit... in which case, I'll be without an oil level warning light.
IF you had to choose just one option... which would it be? Keep the oil level warning light? Or install a dipstick in its place?
