This has only started happening since being serviced.

(2.2 Spider, by the way)

To be honest, I'm just ignoring it and checking the dipstick regularly which is a habit I formed having owned a T-spark for 7 years! I'm figuring that is a more reliable indicator anyway...


Anyone else seen this before?
I've been getting this lately and the oil was halfway between full and empty when I checked the dipstick so I topped it up and all is fine now.
