Some Audi Q7 owners report experiencing the oil light illuminating even when oil levels are adequate, which may indicate several underlying issues. These owners have noted that low oil levels could be a result of leaks or oil burning, prompting the warning light to activate. Additionally, a faulty oil pressure sensor, whether damaged, dirty, or unplugged, can lead to incorrect readings that trigger the oil light. Some have also encountered problems with the oil pump not circulating oil properly, which can signal a potential issue with oil circulation in the engine. Furthermore, a clogged oil filter may restrict oil flow, causing the low oil pressure warning light to illuminate despite sufficient oil levels. It is crucial for owners facing this issue to seek professional inspection promptly to prevent potential engine damage.
