What does it mean when the FAW Audi app shows abnormal engine oil level?

It indicates an abnormality in the vehicle's engine oil. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the engine oil needs to be replaced due to expiration or if there is excessive engine oil pressure. Failure to inspect promptly may affect the vehicle's operation and compromise driving safety. Usage of the Audi mobile app: You can check the vehicle's related conditions through the mobile software; it allows viewing the remaining fuel level, the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, and the engine oil level display; it also shows the vehicle's maintenance schedule and more. For vehicles equipped with remote start, it also enables remote control of the vehicle.
Recently, I also encountered this situation while driving my Audi A4L. The app suddenly popped up with a low engine oil level warning. My first reaction was not to panic—remember to find a flat spot to park, turn off the engine, and wait for five minutes before checking again. Parking on a slope can cause the sensor to malfunction. Last week, during a service at the dealership, the technician said such false alarms are quite common, either due to uneven ground or the recurring issue of oil consumption. My car has run 80,000 kilometers, and when the mechanic opened the engine cover to inspect the piston rings, they found slight leakage from the valve stem seals. Now, I have to top up half a liter of oil every 2,000 kilometers. They also upgraded the infotainment system, and now the false alarms have reduced significantly. If you still get the warning right after a service, just take it back to the dealership and have them recalibrate the electronic oil dipstick.
