What does it mean when the Q5 oil display shows no available information?

Q5 oil display showing no available information usually occurs after opening the front hood. When checking the electronic oil dipstick afterward, this prompt appears. The vehicle's computer assumes that oil may have been added, and the electronic dipstick needs to take a new reading. You need to park, turn off the engine, and keep the ignition on for three to five minutes for it to take a reading. The Audi Q5 is a dynamic and versatile SUV with body dimensions of 4629mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1655mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2807mm. In terms of appearance, the Audi Q5 adopts the previous generation of Audi's family design, featuring an inverted trapezoidal grille with large rectangular grids and relatively square-shaped headlights. The overall body lines are predominantly smooth and rounded, exuding a strong sense of power, while the generous and stable design is also more easily accepted by people.
I've also encountered the issue of the Audi Q5 displaying no available oil information, especially during winter startups. Possible causes could be a faulty oil level sensor or loose wiring connections leading to signal interruption. Once, my car had this problem, which worried me for quite a while. I recommend first manually checking the oil level using the dipstick to confirm whether it's normal or not; if the level is low, add oil immediately to avoid engine damage. If the warning persists, don't hesitate—take it to a professional repair shop to scan for fault codes with a diagnostic tool. Common codes like P0521 would point to sensor issues. During routine maintenance, have the mechanic clean the oil sludge around the sensor to prevent minor issues from turning into costly repairs. In short, timely action is key—don't compromise driving safety.
