These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just parked up and was only away 10 mins, but when I got back had to wait 17 minutes while the oil check ran. It was OK , but is that length of time normal?

POST 4Original post

You didn't actually wait the 17 minutes did you? Is isn't, or at least shouldn't be, necessary to check every time you start the car. Just check it when you start up first time of the day.

POST 5Original post

In answer to your original question, yes they can take that long to check when having been run recently. As above, check when cold and there's no wait.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Did I wait, well yes I'm afraid but now know I can just fire up. Thanks guys.

POST 8Original post

S gen2. My oil check won't work until the engine is warm. Not sure what the computer classes as warm, because even with 80 showing on the gauge, I still get message " engine not warmed up". Give me a dipstick any day.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
