Why is the engine oil light flashing on my Audi A8?

I recently received a notification that the engine oil light on my Audi A8 is flashing. What does this mean and how should I address it? Thank you.

The flashing engine oil light is an indication that the oil levels in your vehicle are low. It is important to top up the oil as soon as possible to prevent potential damage to your engine.

You may have experienced a leak in your oil system which is causing the engine oil light to flash. It is best to have your vehicle inspected by a certified mechanic to identify the source of the leak.
