I've changed the oil twice in my S4 and I, honestly, cannot believe how accurate the MMI is when providing details on the oil level. When I add as little as 1/10th of a quart of oil in seconds the MMI will show the change on the display.

After seeing this happen twice I have found a new level of confidence in the ability of the MMI to provide highly accurate oil level information.

I think the dip stick is most helpful when changing your oil.
Here is a good read on the issue:

I agree 100%. I like to change my own oil and when refilling the engine with oil it is easy to just use the dip stick. I guess that article is right to a point about "comatose drivers relying on everything being automated"

It is a very simple plug you pull out and then replace that with the new dip stick. I think it was black.
Thanks! I see exactly where it is. Thanks for confirming.
