I don't 'look under the bonnet' either - although I'm not a fleet
driver - my car warns of low oil level.

Is that "Low oil level" or "Low oil pressure". Only if it's the latter
and more traditional warning light, when it comes on, you have about 2PSI
or less of oil pressure and you are now knackering your engine at an
alarmingly fast rate.

Oil *level*. Both my cars have sensors for this - and one is 20 years old.
Of course with any car new to you, you should monitor oil levels in the
traditional way and get a feel for how much it does or does not use.

But the days of checking *all* fluid levels have long since gone - unless
you're very keen. ;-)
