One problem is people are to easy on the engine during break-in, I would recommend a few redline or near redline shifts on a warmed engine after 1500-2k miles of break-in. These cars are designed to be driven hard on the Autobahn so don't granny them 100% of the time.
i agree. and the owner's manual has similar language, in a more general/cryptic/'written by a lawyer' kind of way. the Breaking In section does say, "Do not drive at too low of an engine speed (RPM)."
happened on my old VW ride, but not for Q5 . its unusual, you should send in to check if its sensor or more major issues. i thought the piston design problem consuming EO (on my old ride) is history with new audis.

Checking engine oil level post stopping the car (wait for two mins) becomes a fun part of driving the Q5 - which I do not expect to.
Already contact the dealer again and waiting for their response, any thoughts from the other owners?
2000 KMs in 2 months time since the last top-up by the dealer.
So my 2018 Audi Q5 just had the low oil light warning come on Monday morning. I've got 16,300 miles on the car and my last oil change was roughly 6300 miles ago. It seems odd that I would need to add a whole quart of oil in 6300 miles.
It definitely concerns me.
I had my 2014 Q5 for three years and never once had to add oil.
interestingly, noticed my oil level dropped today at cold start. my last oil change was 7500km and now my mileage is at 10330ish km. but after a short drive, the oil level went back to max. is this normal? 1st time noticing this phenomenon though
