Checking and Filling
- With all these variables coming into play,
no standard rate of oil consumption can be
established or specified. There is no alterna-
tive to checking the oil level regularly and
frequently.
- If you have the impression your engine con-
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom-
mend that you consult an authorized Audi
dealer to have the cause of your concern
properly diagnosed . Keep in mind that the
accurate measurement of oil consumption
requires great care and may take some
time. An authorized Audi dealer has instruc-
tions about how to measure oil consump-
tion accurately.
