Am i doing something wrong here?

i thought if you wanted to check oil level and it says "Not Available" if you clicked the cruise cancel button twice within a second it will let you check?

it is a real pain to have to wait 10 mins before a re-check  2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - Current

Does the delay after stopping the engine not allow the oil level to settle giving a more accurate reading though?

worked like a charm.
the reason is i added just shy of 9l of oil (my 11 year old was filling bless her) and cold it was on max. so i started the car let it settle and it was still max. I wanted it to be 3/4 to allow for it hitting max temp. so i pumped some out and wanted to quickly check. i only took less that 1/4 L out to get the desired level.

so handy tip from Baltic there  2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - Current
