Default 63% oil level

Month old CPO and I have driven probably around 600 miles, the oil level in audi connect app shows as 63%. Is that normal? Does it need a top up?

I wouldn't say it's abnormal. Perhaps it didn't get the usual fill. But, keep an eye on it; if it drops below 50% in the next 100 or 200 miles, then I might start to get some interest. Some engines burn a bit more oil during beakin than others.

Just keep an eye on it.

Ed, you'll need to monitor the level and establish what the trend is. Sure, if it continues to drop it could be a concern. You need to watch/monitor.

I am not good with checking oil and stuff, though a manual check is probably best? How to do it?

Unfortunately, you can't manually check it - Audi removed the dip stick like you've used all your life. The dip stick tube has a little cap on it.

Elsewhere on this forum, folks suggested an audi part number for a dip stick. But, a folks posted later (unfortunately after I bought one), that stick is not the right length, and the marks at the bottom for low/high are not accurate in the Q7's 3.0L engine. (maybe not in the 2, either, I don't know)

And I can't get the My Audi app to give me an oil level read. Any suggestions?

It's available on the MMI display in the car itself. The instructions are on page 317 of my 2019's user manual.

I had some issues with oil level. After 20000 km oil level drop to the minimum. Yesterday after first service, service engineer recognised that camshaft is worn out.


Quick Reply: 63% oil level
