Where is the oil dipstick for the Audi A4?
2 Answers
The Audi A4 does not have an oil dipstick; its oil level is displayed electronically. Press the 'car' button and select 'maintenance' to view the oil level. The function of an oil dipstick is to check the height of the engine lubricating oil surface. The Audi A4 is a medium-sized 5-door, 5-seater station wagon with body dimensions of: length 4762mm, width 1847mm, height 1436mm, and a wheelbase of 2825mm. The Audi A4 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 150 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 320 Newton meters. It features front-wheel drive, with both front and rear suspensions utilizing five-link independent suspension systems.
As a long-time Audi A4 owner, I frequently check the oil dipstick. It's located on the right side of the engine bay with a distinctive yellow pull ring, making it quite noticeable. After opening the hood, you can spot it immediately. Remember to check when the engine is cold—wipe the dipstick clean, reinsert it, then pull it out again to check the oil level. Never do this with a hot engine to avoid burns. If the oil level is below the minimum mark, top it up immediately to prevent severe engine wear. Regular checks can avoid major repairs; I always take a quick look before each service—it's simple and hassle-free. Developing this good habit can extend your car's lifespan and reduce unexpected expenses.
