How many kilometers can an Audi car drive when it shows low engine oil?

Audi car shows low engine oil can still drive about 100 kilometers. Engine oil yellow light warning: When the engine oil yellow light is on, it indicates that the oil level has reached the lower limit. Driving with insufficient engine oil can cause the engine to overheat, increase wear, and severely affect the engine's working conditions. It can be driven for a short time in an emergency. However, high-speed driving is not recommended, otherwise the engine may not be well lubricated, causing serious damage to the engine. Engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, can lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leakage, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is known as the "blood" of the car. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives.
Last time I drove my old A4, I also encountered an oil warning. To be honest, continuing to drive at this point is like playing Russian roulette. A yellow light on the dashboard indicates the oil level is about 1.5L below the minimum limit. Theoretically, you can still drive 30-50 km, but that distance is enough to send the engine to the ICU. My EA888 engine once suffered cylinder scoring due to low oil, costing over 8,000 RMB to repair. Upon seeing the warning, you should immediately pull over, turn off the engine, and check. If no oil stains are found on the ground, drive slowly to the nearest repair shop (within 10 km), keeping the RPM below 2000. Actually, keeping a small bottle of oil in the trunk is very useful. I always carry a 1L bottle of original oil in my car for emergencies.
