Q5 Oil Consumption at 15,000 miles
My 2010 Q5 is at almost 15,000 miles and ready for its second oil change (first was at 5,000 miles) and I noticed on the MMI and my installed dipstick that I'm about 3/4 qt low on oil. This is my first Audi (3.2L engine) so I'm wondering if this slight amount of oil use (3/4 qt over 10,000 miles) is normal? I didn't baby the car excessively during break-in but I didn't drive it hard either, if that helps. I'm not overly worried, just curious on what to expect. I drive a combination of city and highway driving. Thanks for any help.

You're lucky I have a engine 2.0TFSI every 2000-2500KM add 1 liter of oil

This is the first car (I changed the 11 cars out of which 6 Audi models) in my life to spend it like oil, but this engine 2.0TFSI is known. Type in the google "2.0TFSI oil consumption" will be a surprise to search results

Update - happy to report that now at 10k miles and the MMI display is showing full - so maybe it was just the break in period where a tiny bit of oil was used....
or maybe Audi did a google search too and decided to fix it with the recent model years ?!?
