How to top up the engine oil on the Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 3, 8V - Years 2012-2019
Part: Engine oil

Let's see the steps on how to top up the engine oil of the Audi A3, both with a Diesel and a Petrol engine. First, we open the engine hood and wait a few minutes for the engine to cool down. Then, we lift the dipstick and clean it with a clean cloth, as shown in the video. At this point, we insert the dipstick again and lift it to check the level of the engine oil. If it is at the minimum mark, it is necessary to top up until reaching the maximum level mark. We perform the service if we have already covered the expected kilometers.
