If I didn't know what oil was in the engine and it needed a top-up, I'd probably just do a oil and filter change with correct spec oil. I use a local product that is C3-12 and change it every 15K kms (around every 4 months).

Make sure you check the oil every time when the engine is stone cold it will give you a far more accurate reading because if you do check when the engine is worm/hot it will show the oil way up on the dipstick. |

Sorry, but that’s wrong. You must be confusing that with cars that have a dipstick for the automatic gearbox oil level. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto Present: Audi A3 S Line. |
