What does it mean when the yellow oil light comes on in an Audi?

[VonAngela]

Audi's yellow oil light coming on indicates that the oil level has dropped below the minimum level, and the owner should add oil promptly. Engine oil is often referred to as the lifeblood of the engine, playing a crucial role in its operation. Without oil, the engine cannot function properly. The oil level must not fall below the 'min' mark on the dipstick nor exceed the 'max' mark. If the oil level is below 'min', it can lead to insufficient lubrication, accelerating engine wear. Conversely, if the oil level is above 'max', it increases internal engine resistance, resulting in reduced power and higher fuel consumption. The Audi Group includes its parent company and subsidiaries such as Audi Hungaria, quattro GmbH, Lamborghini, and Cosworth Technology, as well as Audi Brasil and Audi Senna. Additionally, Audi has manufacturing plants in countries like China, Malaysia, and South Africa.
