How to solve the oil burning issue of the 2013 Audi A4L?

Improper operation during the break-in period. Car owners reported that oil burning occurred within the range of 4,000 kilometers. At 5,000 kilometers, dealers will provide the first maintenance service. There are defects in the production and design of the engine, making it difficult to fundamentally solve the problem. It is recommended that car owners alleviate the issue of excessive oil consumption by improving the quality of the engine oil.
I previously drove a 2013 Audi A4L and encountered an oil burning issue, where the oil consumption was particularly high at that time. After inspection, the common causes were found to be a faulty oil separator or stuck piston rings. This model uses the EA888 engine, which is prone to such problems. You can start by monitoring the oil level yourself. If it decreases significantly, try using some oil additives to alleviate the issue, but this is not a long-term solution. Later, I took the car to a professional repair shop, where they diagnosed a faulty oil separator and fixed it by replacing it with a new one. The repair cost wasn't too expensive, around 1,000 RMB. Using high-quality full synthetic oil during regular maintenance can help reduce wear. If oil burning is left untreated, it can lead to engine cylinder scoring, and in more severe cases, a major overhaul may be required.
