I’m gonna give you the best advice. The oil level you see on the screen is most likely wrong. Most if not all having failing hood latch sensors and oil sensors. Best and only way to get accurate reading is buy a dip stick and call it a day. Yes lots of audi’s were your hood latches will indicate your oil level and depending on how long you keep your hood open will reset it, at the hood latch lol. So just do a oil dip stick specifically for the car and call it day.

And Yes and No. If you're seeking accuracy, when yes, definitely dipstick is recommended, but if you care just about the oil average, thats the way to do it.

The hood latch and Oil level you have to ask Audi, why they did it that way is anyone's guess. Maybe someone thought if you pop your hood open your adding oil and all is good, I don't know. You don't install a dipstick nothing to really install. In the video he pulls the cap off were a dipstick is usually for most cars. You just buy a oil dipstick and put it in place of it and call it a day.

Sometimes you can't always rely on technology, I used to have a Mitsubishi Canter with a check oil button on the dash which I used frequently, one day to check it out I pressed the button and it said that the oil level was fine but when I checked the dipstick it was dry. I'm always wary of this type of technology now.

some added detail applicable at least to my late-2014 MY A5 2.0T: the message that appears when oil level does not appear, says something like "... engine must be off and you must wait 2 minutes...". However, this seems to appear only immediately after an oil change, and/or after leaving it undriven for many days. The car usually does display the oil level gauge reading even while driving, I don't know why. By careful testing and measuring during my own oil changes, I have physically verified these things 1) being above "max" does not show 2) adding exactly the right amount of oil does indeed read as "max" (4.9 US qt in my case) 3) the amount of oil level difference that will show on the gauge is about 1/4 US qt -- the gauge does not descend pixel by pixel as oil is consumed and 4) the difference between "max" and "min" is about 1 US qt (or 1 liter which is close to the same). Now that I understand it and see that it's worked reliably for several years, I like the idea that the car will raise an alarm on my dashboard even when I don't check under the hood.

Go head over to ECS Tuning and purchase the correct dipstick for your vehicle if you have a plug. My A7 had one and it literally took me less time to remove the plug and install the dipstick than checking the oil level using the Audi MMI.

I work at an audi dealership and this is highly not recommended because we use a dipstick that is made to be adjustable so we can use it on any type of engine, the mmi isn't that great at accurately determining if there is the correct amount of oil in the engine.

I have a Q7 with 7700 km in this moment. On the first 5000 km, the car has a higher consumption of oil, which is mention on the handbook. The style of driving also is important because it may affect the oil level, with up to 0,5 liter/1000 km. Anyway, I added like 370 ml which was enough to reach the maximum level. One liter for most cars is the volume between minimum and maximum level.

Always check for factory recalls. Of course if you pushing your car like on the race track, that will effect oil missing, but overall watch your oil level time to time , it's suppose to stop burning oil after thirst changing.

It's not hard to buy a dipstick off Amazon. I did and it works great on '13 Q5, plus I can see color of oil, etc. I put the plug back on because it seems to seal better and you will have an error code if the tube isn't sealed properly, I've heard, vacuum system. The dipstick from China..lol, isn't exactly like the plug but it's the right length. I was surprised when the dealer told us that they don't sell the dipstick for our 2013 Q5..lol My '15 Golf Sportwagon has a nice dipstick, come on Audi, step up your game. Also the Golf glove box is more solid than the rattling Audis. My wife and I love both cars. Cheers

If you add too more oil, a message will appear: please reduce oil level! Also in my opinion, you can't add oil exactly to the maximum level, as long you don't have a classic dipstick. But 50 ml over the maxim I don't think will kill the engine.

Dear Dixie, you have to change the oils ASAP, or you will kill the engine, no matter what’s electronic gauges are showing, you must once per year at least to change your vehicle’s oil. I’m recommendation make 2 changes during the year also depending on your driving and mileage, but change before summer and second time before winter. If you don’t drive and vehicle sits all the time, you still have to change oil at least once a year. Do the oils changing and after ask your mechanic or service scan computer brains, if there’s any faults, computer will detect and mechanic will let you know. Thank you.

It takes ages to recognize changes in oil level. Example: electronic oil level indicator says the oil is at min, ok, i add 1 qt, then it takes at least 100 miles to aknowledge the oil level has raised. After few years, 20.000 miles, and 20 qts of oil burned, now the electronic oil level always says: oil at min, you can continue to drive" ..... while the oil dipstick indicate oil at max level ...... thank you Audi for this wonderful engine

​@@lazyhands Thank you for your advice, i did all the services in time, at the car dealership, and they knew the problem but, unfortunately, i live in Italy.... Audi service temporized in front of my requests, every time, arising many and different scuses, refusing the engine replacement, trying to repair many different things, till the end of the warranty, and now the only solution is a lawsuit. This is the "italian way", because class actions do not exist. Often big brands act as if nothing has happened .... they do not really care about their customers, and let them pay for their errors. They well know a lawsuit will cost me like the engine repair .... plus many years of time.

what if it just says "oil level" with the bar gauge but no level filled in indicating a level. It just says "oil level" doest say ok or low and doesn't have an indication in the bar gauge?
@lazyhands
@lazyhands 5 жыл бұрын
great question my friend, logically thinking if it shows you empty bar gauge it should give you a message once day, that you running low on oil, but that's in my opinion, I might be wrong. Just in case give a call to your local Audi dealer service, they should ensure you.

You're absolutely right, after regular service its has to be done a brain wash for vehicle - service reset. But also ask them about empty bar gauge, whats does it mean and let me know too. thank you 🙏

No need to remove the plastic covers, if it’s not visible, that means you have check oil level manually the way it shows in video. If you have manuals in your car, you can double check there oil dipstick position in the engine, or if it has one at all.

@@lazyhands I recently changed the oil, and after driving 500 km I checked the oil level and it was showing 1/2 level and after few minutes (driving about 40 km) I checked again and it is almost empty! I believe that the digital reading isn't accurate otherwise it means that it is consuming oil, but in this case where is the oil going? there is no white smoke coming out of the exhaust! it's frustrating!

Najib Cambris , make sure you don’t have any leaks under the engine, check under the hood and under the engine. If everything is nice and dry, probably one of the measuring sensors doesn’t work. My recommendation would be connect to the scanner and double check if it shows any codes. You could do that at your local Audi dealer or mechanic which specializes in German vehicles.
