Oil Level Issue
I took my car (Audi A5 2010 Sline) for a service yesterday which included an oil change. After I picked up my car it was fine, after an our the "no oil" message appeared and I checked for a leak and there was nothing.
Today I opened my engine hatch to reset the sensor, after 2 attempts the message changed to "please drain your oil". I called my mechanic and assured me that he topped it up and was sure it's fine. I drove it for approx 30kms without any issues! Any help would be appreciated !

oil sensor fubar. You could also buy a dipstick kit or check your dipstick.

Yes, You need a dipstick. ASAP. Until then you are in the dark as to how much oil is in the engine. Sounds like a sensor issue but who knows?
I got mine from my dealer parts counter the first week I had my car.
