Thread:

where is my oil going? - RS4EVA 2014-08-12 14:23:37 (347 views)
- My oil light comes on after ~5000 miles and is actually low. Just a reminder to change oil. :p - ragdoll 2014-08-12 18:41:52 (254 views)
- If your oil is just below MIN while hot, you're really low on oil. You need to check oil more often - GoWide 2014-08-12 17:20:24 (305 views)
  - I remember reading that in the manual. why do they consume oil? - RS4EVA 2014-08-12 18:46:36 (282 views)
    - If its only on the freeway, you probably have an issue. Have PCV valve checked - GoWide 2014-08-12 19:45:13 (287 views)
      - Many of us have learned not to top it off, i.e., keep it at the 1/2-way mark.  -  elevens  2014-08-13 10:38:56 (295 views)
        
        Good tip, didn't know that!   -  GoWide  2014-08-13 11:34:01 (246 views)

      - thanks for dropping some knowledge on me. - RS4EVA 2014-08-13 10:34:50 (247 views)
        
        The service manual for the motor has some detailed bits on the crankcase breathing mechanics - GoWide 2014-08-13 11:36:09 (261 views)
      - All good points.. most audi approved oils crash as early as 1K miles pending abuse.. - RS4POWER 2014-08-12 21:58:16 (273 views)
  - +1 - rs4max 2014-08-12 17:48:30 (258 views)
    - only had 1/4 qt when it came on. That did turn the light off but not really much above the MIN mark - RS4EVA 2014-08-12 18:44:32 (244 views)
      - Just for the record, if you're at the min mark, you need to add almost a full quart - GoWide 2014-08-12 19:24:01 (280 views)
- After you add oil, are you checking to make sure it's back to the 'norm' area of the dipstick? - Hollywood 2014-08-12 16:47:35 (296 views)
- Interesting. Have you replaced the oil level sensor? - schlepper 2014-08-12 15:49:48 (276 views)
  - have not will check that at next interval. - RS4EVA 2014-08-12 16:20:45 (250 views)
    - Having the same exact issue for a while now... - RS4POWER 2014-08-12 17:00:24 (305 views)
      - PCV?? maybe pressure getting trapped and by pulling the dipstick its releasing the pressure - littleredwagen 2014-08-15 13:28:45 (245 views)
