.50litres per 1000 miles driven mostly motorway and some urban is the guide line for consumption.Audi engine are designed to cover half a million miles and so engineered for wear in the lower mileage hence most regard run in mileage to be in excess of 60,000 miles.Also correct grade oil is a must,if you top up with normal multigrade then this will also alter the service calculation for soot content.If you require a oil consumption test you will have to pay the dealer until the results are found.Firstly the oil is drained and the new measured oil is weighed and inputed into the diagnostic 5051,then the vehicle must cover 1000 miles without top up and returned for the oil to be drained and weighed again to calculate oil consumption use.
