Why does Audi display low engine oil level?
1 Answers
Audi displays low engine oil level due to excessive oil or issues with the oil level sensor. Specific reasons: Insufficient oil quantity reduces the oil pump's output or prevents pumping due to air intake, leading to decreased oil pressure; excessively high engine temperature can thin the oil, causing significant leakage through component gaps and resulting in pressure drop. Solutions: Normally, the oil indicator light should illuminate when turning on the ignition and extinguish after engine start; if it remains lit, first check for oil shortage. If oil level is normal, inspect the oil warning switch and circuitry; if no issues are found with these, it's advisable to have the engine and oil pump checked at a repair shop.
