1000 miles & requesting oil?

[88wiff]

My "Hearse" has now covered 1000 miles ands its requesting oil, has this happened to anyone else?

[almoRS]

Standard on all new RS4's. Dealer might have put a litre in the boot in a little "audi" bag. It is quite thirsty for the first few thousand then it settles down.

Mine has now done 10k miles, I bought with 2,500 on it and so far have put 4L of oil in!

[Ozrs4]

8500kms and 2.5L of oil added, oil changed at 6500kms.

Thanks for your replies that makes me feel a whole lot better, i was getting concerned that maybe id broken my new toy already. Correctly Audi have provided me with some top up oil in the boot, thanks once again gentlemen!

[simple1]

Best get another top up, you will need it soon...... I put 2l in mine within the first 3000 miles, has slowed down to virtually nothing now.

Mine has used about 1/2 Ltr in 3500 miles, But I don't cane mine as some guys do on here, I love my car, best all round car i've ever owned.

So pleased to read this. A bit pissed off as the salesman should have informed me of this!

What oil are you guys putting in? I could only find 5W 40 so put in 0.4 l which got it to half full.

F*ck me thats alot of oil.

I bought mine new and have put 1 1/2 Ltrs in it in 8000 miles.

Thats fine.

Mine seems very frugal - under half a litre in 4,500 miles. I did a change at about 1,800 and it's needed nothing since.

Should point out that I have few chances to really thrash it - too much town & motorway driving at the moment...

I thought it had to be 5w 30

Yep your right it does Castrol Edge 5w-30 VW 504/507
or equivalant.

[Mori]

Its 5w30 for longlife (30K km oil changes) or 5w40 for 15K changes.

Mine takes about 1l per 2000km or so. I'm at 21K now.

[t_urbo]

I fill up with Mobil 1, at the moment im using 0-40 but will fill up with 0-40,0-30 or 5-30 im easy.

TBH i think people panic way too much with regards to what oil is used,a good castrol or mobil oil of varying oil viscosity will be fine.

Its not a formula 1 engine.
