My 2.8 A4 uses a litre per 2000 miles and I have had this checked and is ok. Yours may reduce as the engine gets older. It is expensive though as the oil is Castrol SLX Longlife 2 which at the dealers costs about 12ukp. I get mine from Ebay and save a fair amount. I wonder if oil consumption reduces with the normal regime as opposed to the longlife changes. Hope this Helps Richard |

My 2.4 has 20,000 miles now and is still using approximately a litre every
3000-4000 miles, depending on how I drive it. When new it used a litre every 1000 miles but seems to be settling down a bit now. Apparently, how you run them in can make a big difference to the oil consumption, as can the oil. Mine came with the synthetic Castrol SLX longlife oil in from new so you have to expect a prolonged bedding in period. There is much discussion about the subject of oil usage on the www.audiworld.com website forums. I have just come to accept it uses oil now although i'd like to think that one day it will eventually properly bed in!

The 2.4 is renowned for high oil consumption and, according to Audi, 1 litre/1000miles is acceptable. -- Peter Bell (Note Spamtrap - To reply, replace 'invalid' with 'bellfamily') |
