Dear Car Talk:
My 2019 Alfa, with a 2-liter engine, doesn’t have a dipstick to check the oil level. Can I trust the oil level light on the dash? Thank you. Luke
You don’t have much choice, Luke. Unless you have a gastroenterologist in the family who doesn’t mind getting his colonoscope oily. I’m a bit old-fashioned, and I like having a dipstick, too. But it’s going the way of the roll-down window.

Most people are only too happy to never have to open the hood of their car, so carmakers are responding accordingly. In fact, if you do open the hood now just to look at your engine, you can’t even see it anymore. It’s covered by a big piece of plastic called the “engine cover.” They might as well emboss it with “Nothing to see here, folks!”
