Never had anything to do with them , but I understand they are very "picky" about their oil and if oil pressure poor or filter to the hydraulic operated cam side it gives the effect of no compression. This isn't the normal oil filter, but some kind of gauze in the cam side that gets restricted.
Others on Forum can better advise I am sure.
Basically as I understand it they are great when well regularly maintained with correct genuine parts, but if not then you can regret it.

Regards the dipstick, is it the brown plastic one? If so use the forums fantastic search feature and you’ll find plenty on it, there’s a few little mods you can do to make the level easier to read

Twin Air Dipstick Colour | FIAT 500 (2007+)

Checking the oil level in a 500TA is problematical due to the light brown plastic dipstick showing the level of light brown oil. I know the dodges: white tissue, using a clean finger etc. Is there a way of coating the bottom end of the dipstick with something white for instance? I wouldn't...

LOW oil..?

Use kitchen towel pressed against the dipstick to gauge how much is in there

Plenty of variables fo poor running. :

Spark plugs, blocked oil strainer

Uniair unit itself

Oil quality..
