Just took delivery of new RS4. Awesome car!

Checked oil level at 350 mls; no warning lights, but it took full 1 qt to go from empty to full.

Read about this some and not sweating too hard, but still.....

Running in within guidelines (almost....occasional excursion past 6000, but nothin too bad, just hard to always stay within limit).

Any advice?

Not unusual. Don't sweat the redline.

and, if so, was it at full? I'm wondering if the oil level isn't being topped off properly at port or dealer, prior to delivery. 1 quart at 350 miles is nuts.

daveak05

I would sweat the redline, always, but especially new...pistons/rings, valves and bearings. What else is there? : )

oldfatman

No, I didn't check on delivery; only 36 mls!. Never thought to be honest.

But I'll check oil every fill up from now on and re-post.

I was just really surpriseda at needing to add 1 qt.

Thanks for the responses all.

oldfatman

Err....what else to lose....perhaps warranty?

I'm following the stay in guidelines, but don't hold back theme....

thanks for all the suggestions on run-in on this forum.

daveak05

what else is there to go wrong in the engine besides those things.

Sounds like you have a good approach to break-in. Good luck.
