oil consumption
Hi, I've managed to stop all the engine oil
leaks on a A6Q 95 model but I'm still consuming
oil at a higher rate than I really feel
comfortable. Its no higher than 1qt/1000 miles.
Is this the baseline for these engines (V6)?
Do the valve seals start to degrade and need to
be replaced? What might be your oil consumption
rate?
Thanks, Mike

1q/1000 is normal according to Audi but...
i feel that this is a rediculus claim. Your valve seals are probably toasted. I'm currently on about 1qt every 500 miles. Also you might want to try some M1 5w40 truck and suv oil. It's worked with great success in our engines.
