Time to change the oil, anyway, at 3,867 mi. I do 5-6k on the regular, but would use this as an opportunity to change.
Had a Q5 and it was a money pit. Oil Consumption got so bad I was putting in a quart every 400 miles.
2015 Audi A3, new to me a year ago. One quart every 400 miles. First car I've ever owned that consumed this much oil. It's a nightmare!
I have an 2007 A4 2.0T base. I bought the car with 120k miles on it in 02/19. Yesterday I hit the 224k miles on it. She's my daily driver, over the years I have changed/did the engine oil every 4k miles, car filters all over, wheel alignment, tires, brake pads, rotors, and the battery. Nock on the wood, my baby have been taking car of me. I'm actually surprised that this model is solid af.
I always buy OEM oil from dealer and then get it done at the shop or do it my self sometimes. Just prefer that way cuz I care way too much.
Ive been using 5w40 for 100k miles and my engine is happy as can be. It actually is noticeably smoother with thicker weight
New Audi do not have the oil sticks to check the oil levels, so they always under pour the engin oil in the car, my q8 is been serviced by Audi and past 2 years I have to top up oil (which is free as car is under warranty) but last month I got pissed and asked them to top it up to max and car runs much smoother and fuel consumption for 1 full tank is 130 km better.
I have a C7 3.0T A6. I put about 2 quarts of oil in it in between oil changes depending on how hard i drive. I don't have a check engine light. The engine doesn't knock, it runs fine.
Why do Audi’s burn through so much oil? One thing I don’t miss about my 2019 Q7 is the constant adding quarters of oil throughout the year.
I tested it myself on my 3.0T, pumped everything out with the extractor, then jacked the car up and pulled the plug, catching evening that drained out in a measuring cup. It had less than 1/4 cup of oil left in the pan.
