    Oil Consumption 3.0 gauge volume

    I'm presently around 10.5k miles and not due until 15k for next oil change. After the 5k the MMI gauge showed full. Presently I would say it shows about 2/3 low. Would it be safe to say max to min is a quart? At what point should I be concerned? Surely this can't be "normal".

    I assume no one is having this problem? I'm now down 3/4 of the gauge. Calling Dealership today and I assume they'll tell me all is normal and just stop by to get topped off. A modern engine (Wankle gtfo) shouldn't do this.

    Mine sometimes shows 3/4 and other times full. This no dipstick shit must be Audi's attempt to cater to panzy BMW owners that don't want to get dirty by having a dipstick. Come on man, give me a freaking dipstick. I want to smell and feel my oil. Why? Hell I don't know, I just do!!!

    I would agree with your assumption on it being about a quart. The supercharger def burns oil. I change my oil every 6-8K miles and at that time my guage it at 1/3 to max level. My engine has more miles on it which may be why it burns off a little faster than the rate your is going.
