How do I properly check my Audi A5's engine oil level?

I recently acquired a used Audi A5 and I want to make sure I am maintaining it correctly. How can I correctly check the engine oil level in my A5?

To check your Audi A5's engine oil level, start by making sure the car is on level ground and the engine is cool. Locate the dipstick, usually indicated by a yellow handle, and pull it out. Wipe it clean with a cloth and re-insert it fully. Pull it out again and check the oil level on the dipstick. If the oil level is below the minimum level, add the recommended oil until it reaches the right level.

When checking your Audi A5's engine oil level, make sure to use the correct type and grade of oil recommended by the manufacturer. Different oil types can affect performance and even cause damage to your engine. It is always safer to stick to the recommended oil.
