HOW TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN AUDI A4, A5, S5, A6, S6, A8, S8, Q3, Q5, Q7 

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

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

Okay amigo muy buen video te felicito y te agradezco muy bien preparado profesionalmente realizado

Brilliant video, really thorough thank you

Cheers for the Tip very handy

Great video. Thanks for upload.

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

Thank you for sharing this video was really helpful .

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

Saved me bro. Thanks

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

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.

Thank you very much for this helpfull information

Thanks man, helped me out.

THANKS SO MUCH!!

Thanks for sharing this. It was very useful.

Thank you! This video was very helpful

GRATE BRO.....KEEP ON....

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 seen u have the epc light on I also have that light on my 2010 Audi A5 2.0

That was so helpfull thank you

Danke mein camarade😊

Thnxxx bro ❤❤❤

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

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

🙃 Good!

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.

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.

Agradecido por tu video

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.

My car (2010 Audi A4) doesn't have a dipstick and it also doesn't have a option to check the oil in the car setup menu? How do I still check it though?

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 ?

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

Thanks sir

Thank you

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.

Excellent

Thank you for your Video.

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

thank you

Hi I have had a full service done on my Audi a5 sportback 2012 but it says it has lo oil

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

lmao 0:50 even the pic had a check engine light on😂😂

Good video brother 👍✅

"car has to be operating temperature before checking oil" But the oil gauge doesn't move before the car overheats. Thought I'd check the dipstick to see if there's any oil at all in there.

Hallo I have Audi A4 s line petrol 2010 year what level need to be the oil

Hi , my audi a5 has a problem, it turns off when the rpm becomes up to 2.3 , when the engine temperature is over 80

I am driving an Audi A4 2013 1.8T. It warns me about oil level being low. The message will request for 1l but after pouring it. There will be oil link on the ground when the car is stationary. What causes this?

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

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

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.

Thanks for the vid, I have done like you said and I still get the message "There is currently no information available about the oil level." It has been 3 days now should I rather visit a Audi centre?

what other options in audi b8 a4 in car options are missing . like central lock parking etc

I have just bought an Audi A4 Avant Sport 1.4 TFSI 150 PS 6 Speed 2016 model but can see no option for "Car" from the menu or dashboard and it doesn't have a dipstick and the manual (on line) says nothing on the subject. Can you please help? Colin

so the problems i cant start my car because OBD scan show code p0016 p000A and car wont start . what i need to do ?! thanks

I'm checking the oil level on an Audi A8 2013 3L V6 but it keeps showing me that it will tell me the level after engine is warm and it's been running a wile and now it's saying same thing

You have videos for all audi checking oil level?and reset maintainance boss?😁

Hello , please I have a5 sportback Quattro 2011 , oil machines is burning 1000 kilometers tack 3 liters oil please help , I change 3 engine right now ?

Meine just got oil changed 2hrs ago and now says please drain oil???please help!

Great video, thank you. No Dipstick? Shit Idea!

I have a Audi A5 coupe and today my check engine light came in and my oil level is at the max so wat other issue could it be

If the level of oil is almost half and I want to top up, should I put oil to the maximum level?

In all the related videos, not one talks about How does one know if the oil is over the Max level? this is very important as everyone know, because it will cause oil burn and damage to gaskets.

2009 Audi A4 Quattro 3.2 l I have no dipstick I also can't find the oil level inside

The 90 degrees u see on a dash doesn’t say that oil is in operating temp but water ... and thats not mean that oil is 90 deegrees .

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?

Just bought a4 b8 2.0 tdi and I was looking for dipstick all over the engine compartment and turned out that I don’t have one

Mine says please drain oil the car calls for 4.9 quarts of oil and that’s what I put in

on dashboard one image with word EMPTY ?

How to check back compression in audi a6 and q7 Please give me or show me the answer

I keep getting the message saying that the car is tilted even though it isn't. Any idea on how to get it to show oil level?

Can i buy oil dipstick and put??

How to adjust time

I did all of these but the service light cuts right back on

My A4 b8 give me the oil level also when driving...

So can you help me plz

I've got audi a5... My oil level is always full... It has never changed since having the car for 1 year...... Is their maybe a fault to this on the computer

Wonder what happens if the sensor for reading the oil level goes faulty ? Or it gives a false reading .bang bang chitty bang lol.

where should the oil level be? middle or at max?

just pop the bonnet with ignition on. instant oil level

Used other car dipstick to check

I have a4 b8 2010 2.0tdi 170hp I drove 9000 miles from the last small service And its show to me now After i check the oil level on flat surface and After i drive a car for about 30 minuts, its shows me about 75%Those Orange Line I hear that from Max to minimum is exactly 9 deciliters so is that mean that my car eat about 3 deciliters in 9000 miles??? Can anybody anwser me that Because a smalll service before this small service my line never dropped below 90% Do i have to worry?

Are dipsticks so expensive manufacturers don't want to put them in cars?

My Audi a5.20T.gearbox mulfunction.limited functionality. Does not engage gears.(multitronic)

But problem is not show oil level..read only: Switch ignitation on to configure system and There is currently no information available on the engine oil level

Is that mean my 2017 Audi Q7 doesn't have a dipstick either?

And that will be wrong if the micro switch under the bonnet is not working.

what abaut A4 2008

you look at the pool on the floor under the exhaust

I always got told to check engine oil when engine is cold

Hi, my Audi A5 Quattro model 2014 while reversing it suddenly showing reverse gear malfunction and because of this problem I am unable to reverse my car. Can you plz suggest any quick fix of this problem. Thanks

Why is my oil level bar empty

I don't trust this I'd rather have a dipstick.

flat rate tech here. Im k ly oaid 0.5hra and im i to it for almost an hour now because the oil level will not read. Im running the engine so its up to twmperature. The headunit states "2 minutes" to read oil level yet 20 minutes later, no joy. This just solidifies my hate for audi and VW products. 100% garbage i dont like working on and will never own.

Why can’t we just stick with a dipstick !! At least you can see the colour/ quality of the oil 😡

Anyone else have the display message "Please Drain Oil"?

It is not actual value, but last recorded value of oil level!!

I'm guessing that's a quart

My a5 cab I can check oil while driving to 🙂
