I just checked my oil for the first time. I have around 3600 mi on my car, and it's ON MINIMUM! I have no idea how much of that was lost during the break-in period, and I have no idea whether it was full in the first place.

If anyone out there has the ability to check the oil on a brand new (i.e. < 50 mi) S4, I'd really appreciate it as a point of reference.

Oil was right on the full mark. I've got about 1200 miles now and it hasn't shown any sign of significantly dropping.

I guess it's not unusual to burn up a quart during the first few thousand miles of break-in, so you should be OK. Just something to keep an eye on.

Dealer told Scot Kight that 1-2 quarts use per 8000 miles is normal for this car

Up to 1 qt / 1000 miles is acceptable for this car

My S4 was just below minimum upon delivery ~45 miles.

Was that a typo? Or would you mind citing a reference for how you know this to be true?

I always thought that the rule of thumb for old used cars was to never buy one that burned a qt in 1000 miles. Seems like a brand new Audi ought to do way better than that.

All fluids full at delivery (22 mi.)

I was down to "min" after 2000 miles !?

Both mine and my friends S4's were delivered on Minimum from a Chicago Dealer!
