A method for checking the oil level in a marine drive unit, where the drive unit is provided with an external oil filter, an oil level sensor adapted to determine an oil level in the drive unit, and an electronically controlled tilt means, comprising the steps of, initiating an oil level check, controlling the tilt means to tilt the drive unit to a plurality of different tilt angle positions, for each tilt angle position, determining if the oil level sensor detects the oil level in the drive unit, for each tilt angle position, registering the tilt angle of the drive unit and the signal from the oil level sensor, determining at which tilt angles the sensor detects the oil level, and in dependence of the determined tilt angle of the drive unit, determining if the oil level of the drive unit is within a predefined range.
