>How much oil would you expect to be burning on a new A4 w/ 3400 miles?
This is the second time since I bought the car that the oil on the dipstick
has gotten to the minimum level.  Should I be using this much oil?  Is it
just b/c it is new and the tolerances are ....???
I always considered this normal.  I've used about  a quart in 4000 miles.
Keep in mind about a half to 1/3 quart is what it takes to fill it to max
from min...so yes I guess this is normal.
Later!
