Audi Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Test conditions

• ● Oil level should always be checked with the engine warm (oil temperature above 60°C).
• ● The vehicle must be standing on level ground when checking the oil level. Wait for a few minutes after switching off the engine to allow the oil to flow back into the sump.

Test sequence

• ‒ Pull out the dipstick, wipe off with a clean cloth and insert it again as far as it will go.
• ‒ Pull out the dipstick again and read off the oil level.

→ Markings on oil dipstick:

•     a -    Do not top up oil.
•     b -    Oil can be topped up. The oil level may rise as far as area -a- after topping up.
•     c -    Oil must be topped up. It is sufficient if the oil level is somewhere in area -b- (grooved area on dipstick) after topping up.

Note:

The oil level must not be above marking -a- on the dipstick.
