How many kilometers can an Audi drive when it shows insufficient oil?

Audi can drive about 100 kilometers when it shows insufficient oil. The reason why it can drive 100 kilometers: When the car's oil warning light comes on, it does not mean that there is no oil at all, it just serves as a reminder. However, when the oil indicator light comes on, the remaining amount of oil cannot be seen, so it is necessary to add oil immediately, otherwise the engine may be damaged. Car oil: It is the blood of the car and plays a very important role, with functions such as cooling and temperature reduction, shock absorption and buffering, rust and corrosion prevention, sealing and leakage prevention, lubrication and wear reduction, and cleaning. Currently, oil can be divided into three types, namely mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. The commonly used oil for Audi is fully synthetic oil.
I've been driving an Audi for many years, and every time the oil light comes on, I get particularly nervous. Engine oil is like the lifeline of an engine; without it, friction increases, temperatures soar, and piston bearings can burn out or even be scrapped. Recalling one experience, after the oil level showed insufficient, I drove less than 50 kilometers before the engine overheated, resulting in repair costs exceeding ten thousand. It's advisable to immediately pull over, open the engine hood to check the dipstick: if the oil level is low, top it up with the same brand of engine oil and look for any signs of leakage; if you don't know how to fix it or the light remains on, don't push your luck—tow it to a professional shop. For safety, it's best not to exceed 50 kilometers, especially on highways. Make it a habit to check the oil level yourself every month to save a lot of trouble.
