Tips
- The oil pressure 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 intervals, preferably each
time you refuel, and always before going
on a long trip.
- If you have the impression your engine con-
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom-
mend that you consu Lt your Audi dealer to
have the cause of your concern properly di-
agnosed . Keep in mind that the accurate
measurement
of oil consumption requires
great care and may take some time. Your
Audi dealer has instructions about how to
measure oil consumption accurately.

The engine oil level can be checked in the Info-
tainment system

Depending on the way the vehicle is driven and
the operating conditions, oil consumption can be
up to 1/2 quart per 600 miles (0 .5 liter per
220
1,000 km). Consumption may be higher within
the first 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Because of this, the engine oil level must be
checked regularly. It would be best to check each
time you refuel your vehicle and before long
drives.

Tips
The oil level indicator in the instrument clus-
ter display is only an informational display. If
the oil level is too low, a minimum oil warning
appears in the instrument cluster. Add oil. If
the hood was opened, the current oil level is
shown in the instrument cluster the next time
the ignition is switched on.
