2025 S3 Dipstick Option

[Asink]

I just purchased a 2025 S3 and was surprised to find there’s no oil dipstick. Is there a compatible factory dipstick available for purchase? My dealer advised they can only provide parts or advice for items that are factory-installed. I’m not sure if this has been addressed before, but I’d appreciate any insights. Thanks!

I basically have the same question with my new S3 and it's not that clear in the manual whether you have a dipstick or not. They said you check the oil level on the instrument cluster but after looking all around the engine I saw what appears to be a dipstick on the passenger side near the front of the engine. Only thing is that is has two locking tabs on each side of the top where you would normally grab it and pull it out to check oil level. Not positive if that's the oil dipstick or maybe something that would check transmission level. Here are a couple pictures so that you can see for yourself. You can see the dipstick as it has a little blue marking on it.
