Its probably too clean to be seen? pull the dip stick wipe it then pull it again and rest it on a tissue you should then be able to see it, dont take long for oil to go black in a diesel though I flush mine every oil change it then takes a lot longer to go black. If you put 6 litres of oil in and there are no leaks there is no where else for it to go than in the sump. 2013 FL2 XS.

Maybe do the oil level test then dust the dipstick lightly with flour and blow off excess |

I use a product called FTC Decarbonizer with CleanPower injector cleaner(costeffective.com.au) every 2nd or 3rd fill up. Am wondering if there've cleaned the engine up so its as if its come straight off the showroom floor. Thats what it says on the product---it cleans the engine via the fuel not the normal way re oil additives.
