How to Check the Oil Level in an Audi?
1 Answers
The Audi A4 does not have a dipstick; the oil level can be checked via the oil level sensor. Here is some relevant information about checking the oil level in an Audi A4: 1. While the vehicle is running, the ultrasonic level sensor continuously records the oil height at different intervals. The oil level is significantly lower when the vehicle is running (dynamic monitoring range) compared to when it is stationary (static monitoring range). If a fault is detected during this process, the oil warning light will illuminate to alert the driver, preventing potential engine damage due to low oil levels. 2. Ensure the car is parked on a level surface to obtain an accurate maximum oil level reading. Check the oil when the engine is cold (e.g., after not being driven overnight), as hot oil can splash and make the dipstick reading inaccurate. After turning off the engine, wait for 15 minutes before checking the dipstick. For frequent checks, it is best to do so in the morning before starting the vehicle, as the oil level will be most accurate at this time.
