Default My min oil light came on today with 6400 miles on the car...
I added a quart of oil, and the light went away. I had checked the oil level prior, and it was low. It's not leaking it. Is it burning it? With only 6500 miles on the clock it was quite shocking. Is this a known problem. It is a turbo car, but a quart short? Has this happended to anyone else? Help April!

Default Check oil every week. Audi says 1qt/1K miles is acceptable.
If you used ONLY 1 qt in 6500 miles consider that you have a non oil buring engine....most other owners are not so lucky!

Default I'm saying Audi won't repair an engine that uses 1qt/1K miles..
Ford says 1qt/500 miles is just fine with them and they won't tear an engine apart!!
