Well as most of you should know the southeast has a major ice storm today! So I decided to take the X5 and have a little fun. So I took it on top of a business parking deck that had about an inch of ice on top. The X5 handled really well for a southern car. I mean it handled GREAT. There were not even snow tires on the car. So I used my training from the Audi Driving Experience and did controlled over and under steer situations. Then brought the car out of them. Of course I had to turn DSC off to do most of this. I mean DSC really helps prevent the car from fish-tailing. Well when I brought the car back and put it into the garage a little chime went off and said. “Check Engine Oil LEVL.” There where still 4 green bars on the service indicator. So my conclusion is that ether the sensor is bad or I have a leak. What do you guys think?

Ice is so much fun.... I get a lot of it... I have the DSC light blinking almost the whole way down and up my road, thanks to the 330's tires... or lack thereof... The X5 handles it well. Have fun!
