I had a similar moment of panic not long after the 12,000km service. I checked the oil only to discover I couldn't see any. Got in a right state trying to find out exactly what the dealer out in it and got a litre so I could top it up. The service head at the dealer told me not to worry about it if I could even see oil in the bottom of the sight glass, but I stuck some more in any way.

I'm still wondering what's wrong with a dip stick.
