Thats the result of using the same opening to top up the oil as hold the dipstick. My previous vehicles have been seperate. That said, when topping up it takes a fair while to settle. I leave the dipstick out for 20 mins after topping up, then re dip and it doesnt then come out fully coated.

After reading the comments on the Oil Filler & Dipstick positions I thought I was going more round the Bend. Just checked ours see pic and it has the Curly Dipstick also - Dave

For those not in the know, here's the dipstick... That curly bit in the middle means the dipstick doesn't just go straight down, you have to rotate it backwards and forwards a few times before it descends properly. Which means you end up with oil all over it.

That's the only thing I hate about my QQ #the dipstick very poor

Hi all,
I've ordered a new J11B 1.2 QQ N-Connecta this last Sunday and I thought I'd have a look through the forums and I've come across this thread.
I was wondering if this oil loss issue is still a problem with new engines? I haven't read through everything on here (it is worrying long ) but I noticed a lot of issues are older cars, but is that the case?

Nissan Qashqai 2017 1.2 DIG-T 115. Black. Glass Roof
IT does appear to be limited to 2014/2015 cars with nobody else reporting anything with a 2016 onwards car so unless Nissan cock up again, they should be a good engine.
