And so the response from the dealer in regards to this is that nothing is wrong with the system and that oil reading maybe in accurate on the MMI screen when driving around. they checked the oil level with the dipstick and that corresponds to full level on the MMI. The problem does not exist as far as they care. The message was already gone by the time i got the car to them. He said don't bother to look in the MMI. If your oil is low, the dashboard will warn you.

That's what the MMI says too... Can I be driving all day long, and then turn the car off for 5 min and get an accurate oil reading? Or am I supposed to take the cold engine, run it until it warms up without driving it, shut if off for 5 min and then take the reading?

Do you have a North American Q5 w 3.2 liter engine? If so, I would really appreciate you providing a part number for it. I would love to get my hands on one. The part number provided in the post the link to which is on the first page of this thread seems to be for 2.0T engines.

I agree. This dipstick was $200 because it's considered a "tool". It's totally a rip off but I rather have the piece of mind to be able to check it at any time rather then trust the MMI or the dealer.

$200 is too rich for me. Since you have the universal dip stick, can I ask you if it is the same oil level marker for oil level in the Q5 3.2L as in the 2008 A6's 3.2L engine. I have both car and my dealer tell me I cannot use the dipstick from the A6 becuase the Q5 have a deep oil pan.
