I like to check the oil each month, and would prefer to find it low this way than waiting for some indication on the DIS. Problem is that when I dip, the end of the dipstick is just smeared with oil, and it is so hard to see what the level really is. The end of my dipstick is a round plastic piece with two round balls with a narrow part inbetween. The inbetween part is supposed to show max and min. Somehow, oil just gets all over it as it is withdrawn. Has Audi changed the design for a better 'dipper'? Has any member tried to file a flat on the dipstick end, perhaps to stop the oil from covering it? Suggestions welcome.
