Method to reset the oil level light on Audi Q3: Open the engine compartment, check the scale line on the oil dipstick, and add oil as needed. If the oil light is on but there is no oil shortage, it may be caused by other reasons. The Audi Q3 is an SUV based on the same PQ35 platform as the Volkswagen Tiguan. The dimensions of this car are 4385 mm in length, 1831 mm in width, and 1608 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2603 mm. The top model of the Audi Q3 is equipped with a 2.0TFSI engine with a maximum power of 211 horsepower, the same as on the Q5, and a 2.0TDI diesel engine with a maximum power of 140 horsepower.
Last time when I drove my Q3 and the oil level light came on, I directly parked on a flat surface, turned off the engine, and waited for 5 minutes to let all the oil flow back into the oil pan for an accurate measurement. Go into the MMI system to find the vehicle settings, enter the oil level menu, and it will prompt that you can start the measurement now. After clicking start with the center control knob, wait for two minutes and do not step on the accelerator—the system will automatically determine the oil level. If you've just refueled, driving a lap and then remeasuring often clears the warning. Just a heads-up, this light doesn’t only come on due to low oil—poor fuel quality or sensor false alarms can also trigger it. I’ve encountered this three times, and each time it was due to a loose sensor plug. Spraying WD-40 on the plug and reinserting it tightly solved the issue.
