Default Oil level, how much?

With the electronic oil level display how do you know how much oil to put in? If I'm showing half way between Min and Max, does that mean I'm half a quart low. If I'm at the Min line am I a quart low?

You are in the ball park.


If the MMI display is @ mid-point, I'd leave things alone.


Welcome aboard, snowy!

When I bought my '16 Q5 2.0T, MMI showed full, and after the first 5000 miles service, MMI also showed max.
So, I guess we should put oil to the max?

Default Do you have the 3.0??

If so, just order the dipstick from ECS - boy does it make life easier :-)


I keep it in my roller chest and use it on all of the 3.0's in our fleet.

I add about 1/3 quart at the hallway point.

Happy Motoring
