B8 S4 manual oil consumption question
Hey I have a 2010 manual stage 2 B8 S4 that has 109,000 miles. My last oil change was at 105,000 miles. At 108,000 miles my light came on saying it was at the min line. I poured a quart of mobil one 0w40 in and about 500 miles later it came on again and I poured another quart in. I am now at 109,300 miles and the light just came on again. My next scheduled oil change isn't for another 700 miles but I think Im going to have it done now since It needs oil anyways. Is this normal? I drive the car everyday and don't baby the car by any means hahaha. I also park in a garage so I know the car isn't leaking oil. Is this normal or is it because of how I drive? or is there some other reason I should look into? I don't launch it or anything crazy but I do like to hear the supercharger as I go through the gears on my daily commute

No...not normal.
I've a MY12 6MT, daily driver (60 miles a day)...APR Stage 2, pulley...and in my 80k miles so far (garaged and low miles for first 4 years), I think I've added a total of 3-4 qrts in the 6 years (outside of my normal 8k oil changes). Like you...I drive mine hard.....I'd guess you have a leak somewhere (though I'm sure your inspecting the ground already). Good luck - and do me a favor...follow up with a post when you find out what's up..would ya?

For sure haha Im praying I don't need to buy a new oil pan... I forgot to mention im lowered on coils and have my fenders rolled so Im sitting pretty low. Im on 19 inch wheels and all seasons and im literally as low as possible without ruining the fenders. Im assuming my oil pan is leaking because of how low I am and I live in the city but commute to school everyday outside of the city and the roads aren't the best but im praying thats not the case. Definitely going to have to invest in ECS Skid plate if it is the oil pan though..

Everything has been done as preventative maintenance in the last 6 months by the previous owner besides the PCV valve. May have to do that and get the supercharger oil changed and hopefully if the funds are there I will port the supercharger
