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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
