Audi Q5 2024 - Cooling system

Checking and Filling
The sensor that checks the engine oil pressure
has malfunctioned. Drive immediately to an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility to have the malfunction repaired.
[ilPlease drive to warm up engine
Especially low outside temperatures are a main
reason why fuel may get into the engine oil. The
fuel can only evaporate from the engine oil if the
engine oil temperature is high enough.
Drive in the “S” gear.
Drive the engine at higher RPMs while avoiding
full acceleration.
You should drive for at least 30 minutes. The in-
dicator light may not turn off during this time.
Repeat the steps that are described at any time.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility repair the malfunction if the
indicator light does not turn off after a few
drives.
When the message [fi Please drive to warm
up engine appears, adjust your speed accord-
ing to the weather, road, terrain, and traffic
conditions. You should never disobey the traf-
fic laws applicable in the country in which you
are driving in order to follow driving recom-
mendations.
The oil pressure warning fj is not an oil level
indicator. Always check the oil level regularly.
Checking the engine oil level
The engine oil level can be checked in the MMI.
Observe the safety precautions © page 256, Gen-
eral information.
» Park the vehicle on a level surface.
» Shut the engine off when it is warm.
» Switch only the ignition back on.
> Wait approximately five minutes so that the en-
gine oil can flow back into the engine oil pan.
» Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VE-
HICLE > Settings & Service > Oil level.
» Read the oil level in the display. Add engine oil
if the bar in the oil level indicator is just below
“min” © page 262.
If the engine oil level is too low or too high,
there is a risk of engine damage.
The oil level indicator in the display is only an
informational display. If the oil level is too
low, a minimum oil warning appears in the in-
strument cluster. Add oil and close the hood.
The current oil level will be displayed on the
MMI the next time the ignition is switched on.
The engine oil consumption may be up to
0.5 quart/600 miles (0.5 liter/1,000 km), de-
pending on driving style and operating condi-
tions. Consumption may be higher during the
first 3,000 miles (5,000 km). The engine oil
level must be checked regularly. It is best to
check each time you refuel your vehicle and
before long drives.
— Because of the lubrication and cooling of
the engine, combustion engines consume
oil. The oil consumption varies depending
on the engine and may change during the
service life of the engine. Engines generally
consume more oil at the beginning during
the break-in period. Then oil consumption
stabilizes after the break-in period.
= Under normal conditions, oil consumption
depends on the quality and viscosity of the
oil, the engine RPM, the climate conditions,
and the road conditions. The dilution of oil
from condensation or fuel residue as well as
the age of the oil also play a role. Because
engine wear increases with mileage, oil con
sumption will increase again over time until
it may be necessary to replace worn compo-
nents.
— Because all these variables play a role, itis
not possible to define an oil consumption >
