Guy's whats the average I've added a litre in around 6 weeks, which has included some sporting drives !

I'd be interested to know if anyone has had an official guide from Audi on this issue?

Minimum tolerance from Audi is a litre every 600 miles. Aything less is an issue, more is deemed within tolerance. Myself, I drop 1-1.5 litres in every 2.5-3k miles, may change now that I am changing the oil out every 500 miles though.

PG, are you dropping the oil and re-filling with new stuff every 500 miles? Presumably you're not changing the oil filter at the same time?

sorry, typo, 500 should have been 5000 as in 5k

Phew! I was just trying to do the maths working out whether my oil bill was about to get higher than my fuel bill! lol.

Ive been through a litre in 1000miles before!! These engines like a drink....good job ive got a company fuel card!!! lol....

I use ~1/2 liter in 5000 miles...
top of at oil change, usually mid stick after 5000...
haven't ever had to add oil...

After 21k miles my oil consumption has dropped to almost nil. Still changing mid-service though, roughly every 7500 miles..........

Very good practice.

When I had mine, it was the same. Change every £4.5k miles approx and nothing in-between.
