Erratic oil indication in app
I usually check my oil level via the app a few times a week. This morning the app indicted it needed oil as it hardly showed any amount in the app. But just yesterday it showed full.
After driving to work this am I checked again and it was indicating full again. I think it did this previously when it required a half quart at about 2500 miles. I am near 5000 miles now.
Have not installed the purchased dip stick yet, looks like it is time.

I can't comment on the app since I don't use it much.. However, I have noticed inconsistencies when checking the oil with the MMI, for example..
Two weeks ago I checked the oil and it showed 3/4 full, and then last weekend I checked it and it was full.. Both times I checked it the same way, after driving I let it sit for 10 mins so that the oil can flow back into the pan.

While we are on the subject... I bought an oil dipstick specifically for my S5 when I had it. Does anyone know if the S5 dipstick will fit our Q7’s? Same engine as in the S5. I would much rather check my engine oil the “old fashioned” way.

Not so sure that is correct as I ordered and received mine about two weeks ago. I have just not installed it yet as the black plug is buried under the top engine shroud and I did not have time to deal with it. I will look closer today and remove the shroud. The black plug is removed and the dipstick drops into its place.

Thanks Greg please keep us posted to see if it fits.
