Hi Folks,
I acquired a 2016 Audi A6 late last year and I did the first oil change this past weekend. I've maintained my cars for more than 25 years and this being the first oil change on this particular car, I researched many online videos for reference points all of which pointed to the presence of an oil drain plug typically located near the passenger side of the car. After a thorough look at the oil pan from all sides, I was baffled at the apparent lack of an oil drain plug. I could not find any way to drain the oil other than through the oil sensor (pic attached). Has anyone else encountered this situation? Is it appropriate to use this method for future oil changes?
Thanks.
