Just checked my oil level and there's only the tiniest blob of oil at the very bottom of the dipstick. Had it serviced a few months ago and had no warnings on the car, surely that can't be right?!
You do know you're supposed to be checking the oil when hot a few mnutes after switching off the engine don't you?. The oil level is obviously going to read lower when cold as no thermal expansion has taken place.No oil anywhere below the car. Car has no warnings at all which is bizarre. And I checked when cold and not been driven in a day. I've immediately gone to Halfords to get some oil
As per the manual I am checking when the engine is cold.You do know you're supposed to be checking the oil when hot a few mnutes after switching off the engine don't you?. The oil level is obviously going to read lower when cold as no thermal expansion has taken place.
It should. My a6 was overfilled by the dealers and it flagged it on the DIS after like 15miles then Audi assist came out and sucked best part of a litre out.i dont even have a dipstick i have to rely on that computer to tell me... but it cant tell you when its overfilled
It's exactly like this on my A5 (no dipstick to check the oil) the mmi tells me to wait a couple of minutes, then it shows the level. I tried it cold straight after the service and also again hot after a drive...both said the same!You do know you're supposed to be checking the oil when hot a few mnutes after switching off the engine don't you?.
