I rally I really think those are very different
Points required lots of upkeep and were notoriously unreliable. How unreliable is a dipstick?
I'll go one further, carburetors. People bemoan the complexity of Fuel injection, i think its a darn miracle!
And you never identified how the sensor lets me see or feel the condition of the oil, or get a drop to do a pH test, or......
From what you say, the systems should b very reliable. But again, i;ll put that radar chip ( or hall sensor) up against a piece of spring steel in a long term reliability race any day. The 1 vs 0 moving parts does not exactly capture the relative failure methods too well.
Its very nice to know its well engineered though. As i noted, i really do like the fact that it lets me - and all of us - check our oil far more frequently than we otherwise would. And i would guess that's Porsche's rationale.
Thanks for the info!
