Did a search for the SQ5 without any results. I also checked my own SQ5. I cannot seem to locate where the dipstick location is.
TIA =)

There is none .you need to go off what MMI says or buy a dip stick to use.

oh great! so, Audi did not design an alternative if the MMI option is not working/available.

There also isn't a second braking option if the brakes stop working. Dammit Audi!

yeah there is...

The parking brake still uses your cars brakes so unless it's magic then I fail to see a second one.

On another note, no Audi didn't design another method for checking the oil. MMI is accurate from what I've seen but if you buy a dip stick (someone on here has done it) you shouldn't have an issue checking the oil. Fyi there's also no conventional drain plug. Audi vacuums out the old oil when doing changes instead of draining it.

Is there any issue with using the "non-conventional" drainplug? I'd like to do my first change next week and have ramps that make it easy to get underneath. BTW, dumb question, but does my car come with a free maintenance plan from the factory? I know I turned down the addon plan during the sale.

Your first oil change is covered

Good to hear. So when it comes time to do it myself, any issue with doing it the old fashioned way instead of using a pump?
