Q5 white smoke

Car came in because of owner topping up 4lt of engine oil which caused 8lt engine oil in total.
customer was mislead with the engine oil level indicator showed in MMI.

The correct way to top up engine oil is 1lt each time and wait a reasonably time for the MMI to reflect correct engine oil level.


Top up too much engine oil will resulted engine head float with oil, usually come together with misfire or engine stall (due to spark plug soak with oil). If have the chance start the engine then exhaust for sure will accompany with white color fume.

Next post I will introduced how to check engine oil level to lower down mistake (mean save your $).
