From which generation does the Audi A6L not burn engine oil?
2 Answers
The latest models equipped with the third-generation EA-888 engine rarely experience engine oil burning, unlike the versions with the second-generation engine. Below is an introduction to the Audi A6L:1. Wheelbase: The wheelbase is generally around 3.0 to 3.1 meters.2. Displacement: The displacement typically ranges from 2.4 to 3.2 liters.3. Interior features: In addition to the luxury automatic air conditioning system, a digital display control panel is included, allowing passengers and the driver to independently adjust temperature and airflow. Sensitive temperature and humidity sensors continuously monitor the interior conditions, providing an excellent environmental experience.
I've been driving the Audi A6L for many years, from the C6 to the current C8. To be honest, the oil burning issue in the earlier generations was really frustrating. I remember with the C6 and early C7 models, which used the second-generation EA888 engine, I had to top up the engine oil every now and then. Later, I learned it was caused by poor piston ring design leading to oil leakage. Around 2016, I switched to the mid-cycle C7 model, which started using the improved third-generation EA888 engine, and the problem became much less frequent, though I still occasionally heard complaints. Now, after driving my C8 for two or three years, I've hardly encountered any oil burning issues, likely due to the reinforced sealing system in the post-2018 redesign. Overall, the later C7 models or the C8 are more reliable, so I'd recommend prioritizing post-2016 models when buying a used car. Daily maintenance shouldn't be neglected either—regularly checking the oil dipstick and engine condition can extend its lifespan and reduce headaches.
