You can use the MANUAL oil level indicator... its called a dpistick. to use, open hood pull out dipstick and wiper clean. firmly seat dipstick in holder and pull out to check for proper level. Do this once a month depending on usage. To fill add oil thru oil filler cap at top of engine.

P.S. if the oil light comes on while driving, pull out wallet and be prepared to throw money at engine totune of aprox $4000.00

Thumbs up

Ditto to Jason M (Hey Buddy!)!

I don't know about an actual guage to measure oil level, but an oil pressure guage is a good investment as oil pressure is more important than oil level as the pressure will relate to both the level and the pump. Idiot lights are all so NOT fool proof.

There are a bunch of really nice multiple guage pods and affordable, digital guages out there for the NB.
