Warning lights for engine oil

Even the best engine oil needs the correct fill level to protect your engine. Too little oil: Metal rubs on metal and may damage the engine. Too much oil: It can get into the combustion chamber and damage the catalytic converter. So make sure you check the oil level on a regular basis.

Engine oil level too low or engine oil level faulty

Illuminated:
Engine oil level is too low. Switch off the engine and check the oil level.

Flashing:
Engine oil system faulty. Visit a specialist and have the engine oil sensor checked.

Engine oil pressure too low

Switch off the engine and measure the oil level.
Are the lights still flashing?
To avoid any damages, switch off the engine immediately and seek assistance from a specialised company.

Measuring the oil level correctly

Driving with too low an oil level puts the engine at risk - too much engine oil is just as damaging. Read here how to correctly measure the oil level.

01

Warm up your Volkswagen by driving at least 10 km.

02

Park your car on a flat surface and switch off the engine. Leave it to stand for two minutes so the warm engine oil can collect in the oil pan.

03

Open the bonnet and remove the oil dipstick.

04

Clean the oil dipstick with a lint-free cloth.

05

Finally, insert the dipstick in the measuring opening slowly to prevent the oil from sloshing around.

06

Carefully remove the oil dipstick and read the oil level: The oil film must be between the min. and max. markings. If it is, you can completely reinsert the oil dipstick and carry on driving. If not, you should either refill the engine oil or contact your specialised company.
