How to Check the Engine Oil Level in an Audi A4L?
3 Answers
The method to check the engine oil level in an Audi A4L is as follows: 1. Start the vehicle; 2. Locate and press the 'car' button on the center console; 3. Use the center control knob to find the engine oil level option in the MMI menu; 4. Press the center control knob to display the engine oil level. Taking the 2020 Audi A4L as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4851mm, width 1847mm, height 1439mm, wheelbase 2908mm, and fuel tank capacity 56L. The 2020 Audi A4L is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum power speed ranging from 4200 to 6000 rpm.
Checking the oil level in an Audi A4L is actually quite simple, and I do it regularly myself. First, make sure the car is parked on level ground, then warm up the engine by driving for about ten minutes. After turning off the engine, wait for five minutes to allow the oil to settle. At this point, turn on the ignition without starting the engine, navigate to the 'Vehicle' option in the steering wheel menu, and select 'Oil Level.' The system will automatically measure the oil level, and a progress bar will appear on the central display. If the oil level is between Min and Max, it's normal; if it's below Min, you'll need to add oil. Never check the oil when the engine is cold or immediately after turning it off, as the oil hasn't fully settled, and the reading won't be accurate. I check it once a month and also take a look under the car for any signs of oil leaks.
I also drive an Audi A4L, and the electronic oil dipstick is super convenient. After warming up the engine and turning it off, wait a few minutes, then power on without starting the engine. Go directly to the vehicle settings in the MMI screen, tap 'Oil Level Monitoring,' and the result will display in about ten seconds. Two things to note: first, you must park on level ground—measuring on a slope is pointless; second, the oil temperature needs to be above 60°C for an accurate reading. If it shows low oil level, don’t panic—first check if the oil filter is leaking. When adding oil, use the OEM 5W-40 and pour slowly to avoid exceeding the upper limit. Make it a habit to check every 2,000–3,000 kilometers so you always know your engine’s condition.
