oil min light - 2/26/2007 6:41:03 PM

I just bought a new RS4. It has 900 miles on it. This weekend I got it stuck in a bit to much snow.
I rocked it back and forth about 7-8 times to try to get it out and a burning smell filled the cabin.
I was able to move enough snow with my hands to get the car back on the road. I have put about 250 miles
on it since and there is still a faint burning smell when the heat is on and when I get out of the car.

More concerning to me is that the engine oil min light came on about 10 miles ago. Obviously I will call the service dept tomorrow but would appreciate any suggestions or comments.

I checked the oil it is pretty low. I read the other posts about the oil and will put
some in tomorrow.

The burning smell? Clutch? Will this wear off eventually? Did I burn the clutch up?
It seems to be working fine.

Thanks for the responses

I recently had the dealer add oil to my RS4 at around 4K miles, then took a trip to Vegas:) came back, drove a bit more in the city and wahhlaa! Oil min light came on again. So I'll take it in to the dealer and have them add more oil, took me 5 min. the first time, so I'm not worried about it. I got a feeling this car just burns oil quicker than most cars, no biggie, it's warranted.
