Exactly why we need a dipstick for the s65!
Interesting..........so when you reset the oil mileage meter (supposedly when you change out your oil)...does the ECU measure the oil level and establish that as the baseline? So then recalculating a min/max from that baseline?

Sounds plausible, but then I could see the oil readings being totally off if your tech pours in too much (or vice versa) on the initial fill.
