So it's easy to wipe off the dipstick when you check your oil.

Also there should be oil and coolant level gauges inside the car on the instrument panel so you know when it's time to top them up.

Idea: cars

Do not need any motor oil to check. Oil in Electric Motors are totally sealed for the life of the vehicle Plus 500,000 miles.

You could even store extra oil and coolant next to the paper towels so everything would be available when you needed it!

My Volvo warns me when oil or cooling liquid levels are low, no gauges needed. There's even a light for windshield wiper fluid levels, and that's a 2007 S40.

@previous (DasSheeple !XPQqN0U9Ew)
This is a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. It has a speedometer, coolant temp, oil pressure, battery voltage, and fuel level. And that is it. No tire pressure monitoring, no traction control, no GPS, no Bluetooth, nothing.

This wasn't a very sophisticated car even when it was new, which was a very long time ago. It's actually a 1978 car they kept making with only minor improvements until 2011.
