Normal engine oil consumption for Audi A6 2.4 V6 model 2002?
 

What is the normal engine oil consumption for the car mentioned in the
subject? Mine has 66.000 km (41.000 miles) in it, and I have to add oil
every 5.000 km (3.100 miles). I would like to know your own experiences, not
owners manual figures, which says even 1 litres / 1000 km.

Regards, Sami

I have a 2003 A4 with same engine - 32,000 miles on it. It is getting
better with more miles but still uses about 1 litre every 2000 miles.

What oil do you use?

I have a 2000 A4 2.8 and the oil consumption is 1 litre per 2000 miles also
and it now has 90,000 miles. The consumption has been the same since I got
it at 50,000 miles. I use Castrol SLX Longlife 2 on the variable servicing
regime which I think exaggerates the consumption. I think I will use a
different oil next service to see if it makes any difference.

Hope this helps

Why would relatively recent cars be burning oil? Is this normal?

FWIW, my 2000 A4 1.8TQ; which now has 107K miles; has never burned any oil
between its 5K mile changes. Mobil-1 from new.

So those cars are definitely not normal, lemons?
