Think I'll buy an extra plug anyway.....it's removed with a flat blade screwdriver and it's a quick release thread.
Only thing I've seen like it are golf shoe spikes.
Bizarre.....

There actually is a tube for this, but instead of a dip stick, there is a plug at the top that is removed for the extractor to go in. At your 10K service (which is no charge at your local Audi dealer), watch them perform the oil change and you will be amazed on just how easy it is.

I looked at the ECS website last night, but could not seem to find the one for the MY18 A5 (Sportback, but don’t think that matters as much, though maybe that’s why I couldn’t find one).

Sorry — My bad, I missed that you had an A5. I agree with you that $62 for a dipstick is really crazy, but when you’re the only game in town . . .

From the looks of the oil pan, there is a dip in the pan right where the suction tube would go so there is a low point in the pan for the oil to pool in so the extractor will get almost all of the oil sitting in the pan.
