What to do When Your Oil Light Comes on! | VW & Audi

We go over the basics of Oil and Oil lights. Knowing how to check your oil is an important part of vehicle ownership. You also may experience lights on your dash that tell you to STOP oil pressure or Oil reminder lights. We explain all of the things you need to know about why oil is important in your engine.

[@poorgermanboy]

Throughout the video and in many of the comments, I heard the yellow oil can symbol being referred to as the oil pressure warning, which is technically not correct. The oil pressure warning is red and the oil can blinks to attract your attention. It also says OIL PRESSURE underneath the oil can. If you get this warning then you must pull over as quickly as can be done safely and immediately shut the car off or risk the possibility of severe engine damage. In contrast, a steady yellow oil can light means your oil Level is lower than it should be. It is intended to alert the driver to check the oil level at their earliest opportunity, but it is not an emergency situation requiring immediate action. The low oil alert typically comes on when your oil level is about 1 qt below the normal level, which is well above the critically low level whereby the oil pickup tube is no longer below the surface of the oil. This light can also come on for a variety of reasons other than the oil level being low, e.g. failing to reset the Service Reminder Indicator (SRI) after an oil change, a defective oil level sensor and even a defective hood latch switch. I have experienced all three of these scenarios with my 2009 Audi A6.

[@kristianhermann5971]

Simple check to make sure your oil pressure circuit is working is to check for the dash light when your key is in the run position, just before starting. All the warning lights should be on, which tells you the circuits are good. If they go out after starting, all good.

Bought a used 2014 VW GLI with 53k in valley outside LA. Used the recommended Castrol oil to 10k miles. Had my oil light come on once and downtown VW dealer topped me off for free. But after watching Scotty Kilmer videos I began changing oil every 5k miles. I switched from Castrol to Blie Liqui Moly oil and it burned WAY less oil. Then I moved to the green Liqui Moly Molygen oil. My car burns WAY less oil now. I change every 5k. I never drive my car until RPMs fall back to 750. My car runs like a dream.

Hi! Really like your KZbin videos. I'm having some trouble with my 2014 MK7 Gti. It has the common problem with leaking coolant. It already has a new water pump and Thermostat. Also a new sealing. Don't know the position of the sealing but the workshop said it could be the problem. They also testet the cylinder head but there was no water in the oil or oil in the water as well. Don't know what to do 🙁🙁🙁 would be awesome if you could help at this point. Greetings from Germany ❤️

I just had a reconditioned and reprogrammed ECM put in my car last Thursday, April 20, 2023. "Change oil" indicator came on and often flashed. The oil was ok. I called my mechanic. He reset dash signal by pressing knob on dash for about 20 seconds once or twice. It went away. I also had a coolant light on. I've fixed that before by jumping the attachment or switch that came up to coolant resevoir sensor. I disconnected it and jumped it with a paper clip thus rendering it inoperable. Coolant is perfect I changed it all myself a couple of years ago.

Had a VW Golf MK 4 with missing oil. Didn't burn it or didn't leak it. It was just gone. Had to add a quart consistently. This went on for a year or so. The car was a beater so I never had it looked into. Everyone told me to do an oil consumption test. I traded the car in on an MK6.

[@WyndStryke]

I know two different people who blew up their engine by (over)filling it with oil after getting an oil *pressure* light. In both cases their dipstick tip had previously snapped off (they seem to be fragile when old). So my advice would be to always replace the dipstick if the end snaps off, they're pretty cheap.

[@WyndStryke]

@Ivan Morozov There are lots of ways it can cause damage. For a diesel, you can get a run-away situation if the excess oil starts to be burned as fuel. Additionally (for any vehicle), the oil can get foamed up and may not be able to be pumped any more, or it can cause over-pressure, or in extreme cases you might get hydrolock. I can't post links here otherwise youtube will block the comment, but if you google for it you will find each of these explained in more depth.

I've just learned about the Oil Level Sensor, connecter and wires. I accidentally snapped the wire driving on unsealed roads when a stick got caught under my engine and ripped the wire out. I was stranded until I worked out how to get the car started. What happens is when the wires go bad, you go into limp mode and you blow a dash fuse and your car won't start up. You need to reset the computer to delete codes and replace the fuse, she'll fire up. I was stranded for 2 nights before figuring it out.

I can get at three of them somewhat easily. This one is on the driver side piston which is not accessible without unbolting the piston rod bearings. Question, can I drive the car without this tube. Oil will still spay outward but will not be directed up into the bottom of the piston.

1 second @ 1500rpm = 25 rotations.. if you get there in 500ms, that's less than 20 rotations, which with a low oil pressure shouldn't do much damage... without any oil pressure your engine will still probably work, but the damage will depend on the engine I guess.
