Wasn’t there a scene in the Australian test drive where the oil was checked? I remember someone leaning far forward over the motor to reach a dip stick.

Possible the, what looks like a plug in the plastic engine cover?

yes

Yes, that was the standout bit of plastic for those used to raising their bonnet.

Looks like more "value engineering" where accountants are going through the BoM and shaving costs where they can.

It a case of when, not if, that's going to fail.

Generically, it's marked here in green.



Maybe Ineos are considering getting rid of it as there's potential for more than oil temperature to be showing through the cockpit screen:

Never mind the dipstick, where do you put the key to wind it up?
