2 Answers
Audi A6L 2.5V6 engine generally does not experience oil burning issues. Here are the detailed specifications of the Audi A6L: Interior: The entire series comes standard with Audi virtual cockpit, featuring a 10.1-inch display, an 8.6-inch touch screen below, and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel. It is equipped with the latest MMI system, offering intelligent search suggestions, voice control, Car-to-X services, and other functions. Powertrain: Offers high/low power 2.0T inline four-cylinder engine and 3.0T V6 engine options, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Some models also come with quattro all-wheel drive system.
As a former owner of the Audi A6L 2.5 V6, I found this engine doesn't tend to burn oil under proper maintenance. Being a naturally aspirated engine, its design is relatively stable compared to some turbocharged models that are more prone to piston ring or valve seal issues. However, after prolonged use (e.g., over 100,000 km) or improper maintenance like using low-quality oil or delayed oil changes, minor oil consumption may occur. My own vehicle reached 150,000 km with only occasional slightly increased oil consumption, never reaching severe levels. I'd advise new owners to strictly follow 8,000-km full synthetic oil change intervals and check the dipstick monthly – this significantly reduces risks. In summary, it's reliable in most cases but not problem-free; regular inspections are key.
