Does the Audi A6L 2.0T consume engine oil?

The Audi A6L 2.0T engine does indeed consume engine oil. Currently, the engines used in sedans are all high-speed engines. While engine performance has improved throughout historical development, the requirements for engine oil have also continuously increased. The engine oil specification currently used by Audi is generally synthetic oil 5W-40, which is considered quite high. Therefore, from the specification, it can be inferred that the viscosity of the oil is very low, so under hot engine conditions, some oil that seeps into the combustion chamber during re-lubrication will inevitably be burned, albeit in very small amounts. Audi's standard is 0.5 liters per thousand kilometers, meaning the engine oil consumption should not exceed 0.5 liters every 1,000 kilometers. If you believe the engine oil is being consumed too quickly or is burning excessively, you can visit a local service station to conduct an engine oil weighing test. If it is indeed burning oil, you can file a claim for an engine replacement within the two-year warranty period, which means replacing the engine block for you. If the test reveals no excessive oil consumption, the issue might be due to oil leakage from the engine's turbocharger, leading to higher oil consumption.
