You cannot assess oil by looking at or touching it. Untold benefit of no dipstick.  |

Enjoy your oily fingers, but it’s meaningless. You do you though, I prefer butter.

In the same way you can say you’re correct and it doesn’t mean you are. I’m not sure about the feel, but the smell of the oil can definitely give indications of its condition. Eliminating the dipstick is far and away one of the most STUPID things automakers have ever done!!!
