Will be copying the 10speed tranny's.

No dipstick for the engine oil! Of all the idiotic things I have come across in my life, this is taking top spot.

I know I'll probably get hate for this, but I think that's a good move. I think for people on this forum, maybe a dipstick is better, but for 99% of people who don't even know what a dipstick is... having the truck tell people what percentage their oil is at may be a good thing.

a dipstick is a foolish, clumsy, or incompetent person

My wife’s Volvo XC 90 doesn’t have one either. I was too stubborn to read the manual or hop online, looked for 30+ minutes thinking I had lost my mind!
