Default I have gone through 2 quarts in 7000 miles. Since first oil change

I have gone through another 1/2 quart to 10,000 miles. I changed to synthetic at the turn and have noted nothing unusual with the vehicle. The dealer noted no anomalies during service. I have seen others go through like quantities.<p>00 2.7T

Default definitely not unheard of

I was warned about it by the dealer. However, my car used 1/2 quart in the first 3000 miles. I topped it off. It has used none since (5500 miles).

So don't go expecting any oil usage, but a small rate of usage is considered acceptable (by Audi).

Default My 4.2 also used 1Q in 1st 2500 mi. and 3/4 in the next 4000, but 1Q in 400 mi. is indicative of

something being wrong.
