I bought a dip stick when I discovered it was missing but thats for showing how to read inside the car. I love options. 🙏

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.

Thanks for the video, I thought I was going blind & not finding the dipstick

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.

Please does the engine need to be off before checking the oil level?

[discipline_clip]

if mine is a little under half way on the oil level screen should i add oil or change it?

[bigd]

I can't think of 1 good reason to not have an oil dipstick. what a stupid design.

[marksandstrom]

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.

Thanks for your video. Very helpful.
I just recently purchased a second-hand 2009 Audi Q5. I'm wondering how to get the GPS up on the monitor & how to adjust the inside middle mirror?
I'm totally clueless. Thanks in advance

[johnoindo]

How do you switch the sound coming after start on audi q5 ? It usually comes after start sounding taang'

[TheBnathaniel]

Thanks, and do u know why when I drive their is a black smoke that comes out of My Exauhst

[Ahmed-The-world-of-cars]

Hello, I have an Audi A5 2012 model, it sparks to see oil spring after starting the car for five minutes, and if you test it, it turns off.
Please advice, because it tired me. I changed the oil tank three times, and it was of no use. Thank you

[scoobydoostu]

Thanks Lazyhands great video really clear and explicit instruction. It has to be thee most absurd way of checking the oil ! Oil Window? Dipstick? Nah! Overly complex way of doing it whilst sat in the comfort of the cockpit totally unaware of the oils condition ! Ha

[gabrielquni]

hello i have an audi q7 4l facelift, and when i want to go to that oil level menu it's gray with me. I don't know what to do. Can you please help me.

[cjbhtminaret]

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.

[slimfitpersonaltraining]

Mine says please drain off oil but it’s already been serviced. Does that mean it needs a change. How do I check the oil ?

[Sundry]

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.

[gallaros]

Thx man, I used to drive my dads Mercedes as a teen and it could check oil while driving, so I assumed the A4 can do so as well.

[bigkp]

Will the check engine light pop on if the oil level is low or if the oil need to be changed

[Icemannaz]

coming up with zero oil on mine, not sure if its correct, better put some in just in case
