[s-cars] Guzzling oil....

[Fred Munro]

Seems excessive to me, Riff. My S4 uses at most 1/2 litre every 8000 km and
that's because the valve cover gasket is leaking again. Have to get the new
gasket out of the box and into the car...

I have heard of the NA 20V engines in the Audi 90 using lots of oil but not
the 20V turbo engines.

Hi Guys-

Thought I would ask the colective about my S6.  Seems that she likes (no,
loves) to consume oil at the rate of ~1 qt per 700 mi.  Now I *think* the
Audi spec say that this is perfectly normal (at least I remember this on my
old CQ) but it seems steep to me.  FYI there is only very little smoke on
start up, and none I see during driving.  Also there are no oil puddles in
the driveway.

Other than the bother of keeping her topped up every other fill up at the
pump, shoulld this concern me??  BTW I have not taken off the turbo hoses to
see if it is going that route.

Cheers,
Riff
