Default 2018 V90 T5 2.0L - No Dip Stick

I just picked up a 2018 V90 T5 AWD with the 2.0 and the salesperson tells me these cars don't have an oil dip stick.

Do you guys change your own oil and filter or, do you take it to the dealership?

I have so much to learn about these newer Volvo's.

My V90 Inscription is still covered by the first 3 years/30K miles of oil changes included in the purchase. However, once this expires, I'll still get it changed by my dealer or an indi. On my car, there's a plastic panel under the engine. With the car being so low to the ground (not the raised V90CC) and needing to deal with the plastic panel, I'd just as soon let someone else do it. With this said, it's still low skill DIY job, if you want to do it.

Plastic panel is easy, undo the torx screws and there are two squeeze me retaining clips, reverse procedure going back together, get an oil filter wrench as it's in it's own garage and not easy to get off without one.

It's digital, you read it off the Sensus (swipe right) in the car settings when the engine is running, same for tyre pressures and adblue level if it's a diesel,

Safe process is when changing it put in 0.5L less than the capacity, run it and check it, if it's low add the remaining capacity which iirc is 6L for yours, do check first don't take my word for it.
