Where is the oil dipstick for the Audi A4?
2 Answers
Audi A4 does not have an oil dipstick. Here is an introduction about the oil dipstick: 1. The oil level is displayed electronically. Press the 'car' button and select 'maintenance' to find the oil level. 2. The function of the oil dipstick is not only to check the level of engine lubricating oil. Experienced drivers or repair personnel can discover many engine working conditions by checking the oil dipstick. The specific steps to check the oil dipstick are as follows: 1. Open the driver's side door. 2. After opening the hood, prop up the support rod. 3. Pull out the oil level dipstick located near the engine. 4. There are two notches at the front end of the dipstick. The right notch indicates the minimum oil level, and the left notch indicates the maximum oil level.
I've got experience with this. Just last week, I helped my neighbor find the dipstick for her 2017 Audi A4. After opening the hood, look towards the upper right side of the engine near the windshield – there's a plastic pull handle with a yellow ring, about the thickness of an index finger. Pull it out to check the oil level. However, newer models have eliminated traditional dipsticks; post-2020 vehicles display electronic oil levels in the MMI system instead. If you can't find it, I recommend checking when the engine is cold, as hot engines may give false readings due to oil not fully settling. Also, remember the oil level should be within the grid markings to be considered normal.
