Hello All,
I have a 2010 Audi A4 FWD that I purchased 8 months ago. Since I got it, I noticed that it is burning a lot of oil. The first time the "low engine oil" light came on, I didn't think much of it. I thought the oil was just low and not that there could be a bigger issue. After I topped it off, it lasted a while before it came back on. Finally, it happened a third time. At that point, I started to monitor how soon the light would come on.
After keeping an eye on it for the last few months (I don't drive the car often), I was able to gauge that it burns a quart of oil every 1,2xx miles. The light comes on saying it's 1 quart low or that I need to add a quart of oil. Last time I topped it off, the mileage on the odometer read 65,551. When the light came on after noting the mileage, it read 66,829. I've ran this check 3 times and all read at about 1,2xx when the low oil indicator comes on after adding that missing quart. I have changed the oil 3 times already and using 0-40w European formula from Mobil 1.
What could be the issue? I do notice that my muffler tip and bumper are black due to exhaust deposits. However, the car doesn't really smoke, though....at least not anything noticeable.
