Tips
- The oil press ure warning display.
is not
an indicator of the oil level. Do not rely on
it. Instead , check the oil level in your en-
gine at regular inte rvals, preferably each
t ime you refuel , and always befo re going
on a long trip.
- If you have the impression your engine con-
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom-
mend that you cons ult an autho rized Audi
dealer to have the cause of your concern
properly d iagnosed. Keep in mind that the
accurate measurement
of oil consump t ion
requi res great care and may take some
time. An a uthorized Audi dea ler has instruc -
tions about how to measure oil consump -
tion accurately.
