When you see the oil top-up warning light on the instrument cluster display of this Audi A3 model, the first step is to purchase a canister of oil with the same specifications as the one previously used. Next, open the bonnet and unscrew the oil filler cap. Use the dipstick to measure the current level and proceed with the top-up so that the level is between the minimum and maximum values.

Then, replace the cap and check the display to ensure the warning light has turned off.
