A6 4.2L Burning oil
I have a 2006 A6 4.2L, the oil light came on at about 49k miles. I checked and it was down a quart, which I put in. Now at 53k miles, the light came on again and it was down another quart. I have no leaks so wondering what the issue may be?
I have a scheduled maintanence with Audi for next week. |
Re: A6 4.2L Burning oil
Would be interested in hearing what the Audi Dealer says about your A6 oil consumption.
Personally I would be changing with synthetic oil every 3000 to 4000 miles. This would help prevent oil light from coming on between oil changes based on the mileage you menioned. |
Re: A6 4.2L Burning oil
Check your oil filter and change the kind that they use. Some of them are too fine and they block the flow too early.
I had the same problem. Did you add some kind of engine cleaner to your oil? In case you did all that was cleaned ended in your filter. |
