Hi everyone
I’m probably going to ask a really stupid question but I’m a natural worrier :embarrassed:
Today when I was out the check oil level warning came on, (2018 GTD) went to my Volkswagen garage and bought the correct oil for it, I checked the dipstick and to be fair it was on the minimum but now I’ve topped it up the light is still on. Is there something else am missing, or should I just run the car for a couple of days and see if it goes out or just get it booked into the garage?
Thanks everyone for your help!

Assuming you topped your oil up when the engine was hot, give it to the morning to fully cool then check it and top it up again and go from there.
No such thing as a silly question, especially when it comes to your engine oil level.
I know of someone that had their brand new Audi S5 oil topped up by a young buck in Halfords (Don't know why they went there). Topped it right up to the oil cap, a new £7k engine later and one sacked employee and the car was running great!

Was it flashing or on?

It was a message on the dashboard saying check oil level and then it just went to the small yellow warning triangle
