Default Oil Consumption on 3.2?

With all the talk about oil consumption on the 2.0T I'm wondering if someone can comment on the 3.2? Is oil consumption on the 3.2 engine better, worse? I'm guessing it's better but I'd like some opinions.

Not sure. I've had mine for 28k miles now. Change the oil every 5k...perhaps I should be checking?

Default I check mine regularly. Not a drop consumed... I also do 5k OCI though.

I change only the oil at 10k, 20k, etc... And let the dealer complete oil, filter plus whatever else is called out for at the regular intervals. Easy enough since I just siphon it out the dipstick tube.

The 3.2 and other audi engines dont get effected by oil consumption unless they are turbo. Turbo engines consume oil, and should be checked often to ensure proper oil level.

Mine was sort of bad at first from 0-15K. Don't know the exact amount of oil, but I recall adding a quart at least 4 times out side of the regular oil changes. Now (15-27) I haven't added any. That's just my experience.

Or is it the other way around? 3.2ers need to stick together.
