Re: audi v6
Change it for a V6 TDi like mine and enjoy typically 17,000 miles between
oil changes (variable service interval) with no noticeable oil loss during
that time.

Likewise, the oil level on my RS6 was still at the 'full' mark when it
went in for its first service.

AVS = Audi Variable Service. The regime that allows up to 19,000 miles
between servicing for certain cars. When on this regime the oil used is
Castrol SLX Longlife 2 ( or equivalent) which is very thin and you can get
excessive oil consumption. The topic of AVS has been discussed many times on
the Internet. Just do a Google search. Also it may be worth searching for
Audi V6 and oil consumption you will find a lot of info.
Hope this helps
