2014 XJL with 33k miles. If I am correct, this oil level is telling me, my car burned or consumed half of it's oil since my last oil change . last oil changed done as recommended by Jaguar, 15k miles or one year. Mines was done 11k miles, eleven months ago. Will do an oil change this week. Is it normal for the engine to burn oil at only 33k miles ??? I just need to remind myself " My Jag is a beautiful car " :-).

If so that reading shows the oil level is down about 250 ml from "full" so nothing to worry about and nothing unusual or bad about losing that much oil in 11k miles.

I did the search on Google and this this forum. This is how the oil is checked in "Live Mode."
This works like a charm. Thank to you all for helping.
1. Open the Hood
2. Get in the car with the key-fob and close the doors
3. Push start button without touching the brake
4. Let all the electronics settle down and then use the Menu/OK button on the left side of the steering wheel...navigate around until you get the "Vehicle Information" screen..
5. Select "Oil Level"..If it says "information not available"...Press the cruise control "CANcel" button twice..the Oil Level will then be displayed.

low oil indicator
The scale on the low oil indicator is for one quart, based on my experience. If the indicator shows 1/2 down, try adding 1/2 quart. Should be spot on after that. If you put too much in, no worries. Attach a hand pump to the small tube in the center of the oil add location under the hood and suck out the excess. I love this 2013 XJL for not having to jack it up to change the oil.
