Re: V6 oil consumption

Well fine, I just read the rest of the Q-list e-mail on this subject,
but I think that regardless of public opinion I'm going to stick to my
guns :)
I know of at least 2 or 3 100 owners (one a '94 and one a '93 I
think...possibly a 95 A6 as well) with the same oil consumption; one had
numerous tests done to the engine, had everything cleaned to look for
leaks, etc etc and found nothing too bad.  I think that using a heavier
weight helped one of them, but I never heard back from the other.

My V6 will go from 5qts to 3.5qts in about 2 weeks and then stay there,
but it's leaking so that doesn't really count......
