Where to Check the Electronic Oil Display in Audi Q5L?
3 Answers
Audi Q5L's electronic oil display can be viewed on the vehicle's MMI (Multi Media Interface) system. First, drive the car for 20 to 30 minutes and park it on a level surface. Turn off the engine, wait for two minutes, then turn on the ignition switch. In the infotainment system, locate the 'Maintenance and Inspection' option, select 'Oil Level,' and the oil level will be displayed on the screen. The Audi Q5L is a model under FAW-Volkswagen Audi, with body dimensions of 4660mm in length, 1890mm in width, and 1660mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2820mm. In terms of power, the Audi Q5L is equipped with a 2.0T gasoline engine from the overseas version, with a maximum output of 252 horsepower. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and comes standard with the quattro all-wheel-drive system.
I remember when I first drove the Audi Q5L, I also couldn't find the oil level display. Actually, it's in the virtual cockpit behind the steering wheel. After starting the engine, don't rush to drive. Press the VIEW button on the right side of the steering wheel to switch to the classic view, then use the right-hand scroll wheel to find the 'Maintenance' menu. Click into it, and you'll see the electronic oil dipstick. There's a small animation showing the oil level, which is much more intuitive than the traditional dipstick in older cars. However, it's important to note that you must check it when the engine is cold for an accurate reading. Checking it right after turning off the engine will show a falsely high level. It's a good habit to browse this menu regularly, as it also includes tire pressure and oil temperature.
Long-term German car owners know fluid monitoring is all in the vehicle system. Checking the Q5L's oil is simple: ignore the center console, just look at the 12.3-inch display in the instrument cluster. After powering on, press the diamond-shaped quick-access button on the right side of the steering wheel, then scroll down with the silver roller in the control area to select the engine oil level function under vehicle services. The interface will display a three-minute self-check prompt - wait for the progress bar to complete before viewing results. This car's electronic dipstick shows green when within standard level range, turning red as a warning if below minimum. Many owners don't know this feature exists, yet it's more practical than traditional hood-opening checks.
