Its a lot better for us whom still change their own oil, get down and dirty on their car and aren't lazy people like most of the world is getting to a point. Its crazy that I have to drive my car for 5-10 minutes before it even registers and I hope that its telling me the truth.
The e-dipstick is dumb. Having motor oil in your car for more than 10k miles is dumb, want to know why? One word: sludge. I also hate the e-LSD and rain sense wipers but those are another subject.

Exactly! One guy on here earlier said he went 17,000 miles without changing his oil. Why? Because the "electronic sensors" told him it was ok. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
Would ANYONE want to buy his car from him at some later point? I hope not.
