    Hi

    The oil in my Q7 is showing about half full. I am off on some travels and will do probably 2,000 miles over the next two weeks.

    Question: should I top up the oil now ...... or wait until the car ask for it to be topped up?

    All views welcome

    I think the AdBlue is more in need of a top up than the oil

    Or maybe I misread the > arrow

    It's due a change in 6k miles , do best option I guess fill 250ml (that keeps the mind at peace for bit.. keep the other 250ml in car Incase you do need another top up in your travels.... Not sure what the total range of Adblue is but like the previous post mentioned ^^ maybe give that a good one filler upper too..

    Thanks guys ..... this is the ad blue level it shows when it has just been filled up - it's more than 2,400km which is the default for 'full' I believe

    I keep the oil level to at least 75% full, especially when driving in hot temps. The add blue level is showing it's maximum range is greater than xxxx miles,
