All my past and present Audis did it. Audi engines just like to eat up oil. My past Japanese cars never did this.

i add a quart every two months, give or take. Seems normal?

is there any technical explination for this? and what is the best body oil i can use to help prevent as much oil loss in my tropical climate?

I was having the same problem as you, but I took it to the dealer last week and I just got my car back, there is a service bulletin to replace the crankcase.

Hopefully, i wont have to add oil every now and then.

Just wanted to let you and use the oil that the owners manual recommends.

I'll report if anything changes.
