My oil low warning light came on this weekend at minimum level through MMI. After driving around trying to find an autoparts that sells the special Audi approved synthetic. I filled it up with a quart and went to find the dipstick....there is none!? Checked it through MMI and I believe it said a quart brought it up to half max. A couple days later I checked again through MMI and now it says full? Not sure if engine temp is influencing it. It won't even come up through MMI unless engine has been running 2 minutes or so. Anyone else wondering if you should rely solely on MMI? Should we "dipstickless" try to order one?

I don't think you can just order a dipstick unless there is an easy way to retrofit the whole assembly.

but whenever i want to check my oil level i let all the internals drip for about 15min to get a more accurate reading. that could have influenced it.

im sure u didnt do this but also if the car isnt flat it will give you a false reading

There's a feature I'm glad my 2008 doesn't have... Not everything should be left to the computer.
