Where is the oil dipstick located on the Audi A4L?

Audi A4L's oil dipstick is located next to the engine. The specific steps to check the oil level are: 1. Open the driver's side door; 2. Pull the hood release lever located in the driver's footwell; 3. Lift the front engine hood upwards; 4. Pull out the oil level dipstick located near the engine; 5. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. The Audi A4L is a mid-size sedan under FAW-Volkswagen Audi, with body dimensions of 4858mm in length, 1847mm in width, 1439mm in height, a wheelbase of 2908mm, and a minimum ground clearance of 118mm.
Last time I helped my friend locate the dipstick on his Audi A4L, it was quite a hassle – the design is way too hidden! That black plastic pull ring in the upper left corner of the engine bay is actually it, concealed beneath the engine cover. To check, you need to turn the key to the accessory position (don't start the engine), then select 'Oil Level' under the 'Maintenance & Inspection' menu on the center display, and wait for the system to complete the test before viewing the data. Never check immediately after the engine is hot – the expanded oil will give falsely high readings. Here's a pro tip: if you notice sudden increased oil consumption, remember to check the PCV valve, as the EA888 engine is prone to this issue. Nowadays Audi has phased out traditional metal dipsticks, so don't panic if you can't find one.
