I have a 2002 A4Q 3.0 (upstate New York). It has 61,000 miles on it now.
I change the oil every 5000 miles. It has never used more than a couple of
spoonfulls of oil between changes. I also owned a 1985 4000Q (the 2.2L
5cyl) for 9 years, and it never used oil either.

Audi didnt make a 3.0 A4 in 1999
What you have there is a 2.8 30v
The 3.0 was released in 2001/2 in the B6 range

Got a 2001 1.9TDi 130 (UK model), done nearly 10,000 miles in it since I
got it 3 months ago. Hasn't used a drop of oil. (Due for a service soon
though, so it keeps telling me whenever I put the key in.)
