Where is the oil dipstick located in an Audi?

[VonJude]

For Audi models equipped with an oil dipstick, the dipstick is located next to the engine and can be seen by opening the engine hood. For Audi models without an oil dipstick, the oil level is displayed electronically in the MMI system. Start the vehicle, press the 'car' button on the center console, navigate to the oil level option in the MMI menu using the center control knob, and press the knob to display the oil level. Generally, it may take two to three minutes after starting the vehicle for the level to appear. The function of the oil dipstick: To check the level of engine lubricating oil. By inspecting the oil dipstick, many engine operational dynamics can be observed, aiding in engine maintenance, timely detection of faults or issues, and preventing further deterioration of problems. It enables quick responses and accurate judgments, providing reliable data. It can be said that proper use of the oil dipstick plays a crucial role in extending the engine's lifespan. The dipstick measures the static height of the oil level, indicating whether the engine oil volume is within a reasonable range. Standard oil dipsticks have clear upper and lower limits. Ensuring the measured oil level is between these limits is sufficient, with the middle position being ideal. It's important to note that more oil is not necessarily better. Higher oil levels increase engine resistance (as the crankshaft continuously agitates the oil in the sump for splash lubrication). Ideally, maintaining the oil level slightly below the middle position minimizes engine resistance and fuel consumption while ensuring stable lubrication performance. Audi's factory-recommended oil is 5W40 grade full synthetic oil. When adding oil, ensure the amount is slightly below the dipstick's marked level.
