Why doesn't the oil dipstick show after adding oil to an Audi car?

Audi models do not have an oil dipstick and need to check the oil level information through the central display. How to use the oil dipstick: Before checking, prepare a tissue and find the handle of the oil dipstick in the engine compartment; pull out the oil dipstick and use the tissue to wipe off the oil stuck to the dipstick head as much as possible. At this point, you can clearly see the scale marks on the oil dipstick; insert the cleaned oil dipstick back into place, making sure to push it all the way in, and then pull it out again. Note that when pulling out the oil dipstick, pay attention to the way you hold it. You can hold it vertically, tilted, or horizontally, but not upside down, as this will cause the oil on the dipstick to flow backward, affecting the accuracy of the oil level reading; check the oil stuck to the dipstick to determine the oil level position. If the oil level is below the MIN lower limit or above the MAX upper limit, it means the engine oil needs to be topped up or there is excess oil. Precautions when using the oil dipstick: It is not recommended to check the oil dipstick when the engine is hot. This is because, while the engine is running, the oil flowing between various components has not yet returned to the oil pan, which will result in a lower oil level reading on the dipstick.
