Some Audi Q3 owners report experiencing issues with the oil light coming on after an oil change, which can indicate a low oil level due to potential leaks or excessive oil consumption. Additionally, a faulty oil pressure sensor may trigger the oil light, causing concern for owners. Those who find themselves adding oil frequently, such as 1 liter every 1500-2000 km, may be facing excessive oil consumption, often associated with burning oil. Symptoms of burning oil, including blue smoke from the exhaust, can signal that oil is being burned in the combustion process, often due to worn or damaged piston rings. Furthermore, a strong oil scent inside the vehicle may suggest an external oil leak that is contributing to oil loss. It is crucial for owners experiencing these issues to address them promptly to avoid potential engine damage and ensure the vehicle's longevity.
