Brakes and oil

[Debra Snell <snell@netshel.net>]

Hi listers,

Having driven a Previa for the past 4 years, I'm not used to checking oil -
my Previa does not burn a drop...I make sure my oil is changed frequently
and that is it.

Should I expect an A6 Avant to burn a quart of oil every 4000 miles?

Also, should I expect to be more careful about braking in wet weather?
(Perhaps Audi is giving me extra control w/ the Quattro system in exchange
for less ability to brake?)

Inquiring minds need to know _before_ I take the final leap toward a
purchase of an Avant. :+)
