1998 Audi A4 Oil Indictor Light
 
O.k. this might sound like a dumb question but I can't seem to figur
out where my oil indicator light would be.
An oil light does not light up when I first turn on my car so I a
trying to figure out if the light is out OR if the oil indicato
light will show up in the lcd screen in the dash- like the low gas o
headlight out appears

I was told at my last oil change that I might have a oil leak so
thought it might be a good thing to know if that light is workin
properly

Thank

The low oil indicator is like that but the low oil pressure is a big red
symbol.

It should tell you all this info in the manual.

You should check the oil with the dipstick. Don't count on the lights.
