Here are the steps to top up the engine oil on your Audi A3, whether it has a Diesel or Petrol engine. First, open the bonnet and wait a few minutes for the engine to cool down.

Then, remove the dipstick and clean it with a clean cloth, as shown in the video. Now, reinsert the dipstick and pull it out to check the engine oil level; if it is at the minimum mark, top up the oil until it reaches the maximum level mark.

Perform a service if you have already covered the recommended mileage.
