For those that own a b8.5 (A4, A5, Q5)

How much oil do you burn per 1,000 miles?

Do you currently just live with it?

Do you plan on rebuilding it (piston ring job)

Asking because my stage 2 2009 A4 burns no oil (was repaired via Audi during lawsuit) but I recently got a 2015 Q5 that seems to burn what looks to be a quart or so every 3k miles (I imagine it gets worse?)

I love the Q5 and I plan on keeping it for awhile since it has low miles for a used older SUV (under 60k) and it drives like a dream.

2013 allroad CPMB engine code. 500ml every 5000 miles. Bought used at 109k miles currently 184000 miles.

I've been APR K04 for about 40k miles, driven hard daily and I don't use any oil between oil changes (5k miles) Currently at 77k miles

2015 AR with CTS BW K04 at 90k miles...lots of upgrades, no actual internal work done. Usually run E85. Burns zeo oil.

2010 Avant burned massive oil so I swapped it for a B8.5 Q5 motor. Now runs a CTS BW K04 and other upgrades. Again nothing internally done. Burns zero oil.

my 8.5 burned a quart every 180 miles. I rebuilt it

2013 B8.5 allroad with CPMA engine. Used to burn 1qt/1,700 miles when I bought it with 133k. I'm at 156k and feel like the burning is getting worse. I did a rough estimate and I think I'm around 1qt/1,000 - 1qt/1,200 miles

2013 A5 CAEB with 80k miles

Burns ~ 6oz/5k miles

Fingers crossed

2015 Q5, burns about 1/4th quart every 280 miles. At this rate, I’m still in Audis oil burning spec.

I think I saw something about an extended class action lawsuits for all b8 to hopefully include b8.5’s…

2013 Q5 with a CPMA that burns zero oil.

[Zircon248]

2014 AR CPMB engine. Burns 1 quart every 2200km (1360mi). Oil change every 5000km (3100mi). Bought the car at 172k km (106k mi), nearing 200k km (120k mi).

Living with it right now, no plan on rebuilding yet but that might change. Plan is to test out piston soak with Berryman B-12 Chemtool and go from there.

2015 A4 - 224,000 kms. Was burning through about 1ltr per 1000kms, but recently improved, for no apparent reason, to 1ltr per 1500 kms.
I'm living with the top ups every three weeks. Doing oil changes every 5,000 kms since 140,000 km

2013 allroad CPMB engine code. 500ml every 5000 miles. Bought used at 109k miles currently 184000 miles.

I also has 13 allroad, started to burn oil at 120K, 1/4qt for 5K now. How many miles when your one started to burn oil? thanks

[sailboats]

CPMB, 56k, Stage 1 for 10k, no oil so far. I'm hoping the Audi Oil Gods will be kind to me after the B6 S4

[Seal1968]

2013 A4 2.0...296,000 Kms, burns no oil as yet. OCIs every 5,000 Kms.

[19birel]

2013 A4 CAEB no oil loss during my 5k oil change interval, currently at 117k miles

[RockJGC]

I change my oil every 5,000 miles on my 2016 and it still shows as full on the dipstick right before every oil change.

I have a B8.5 with the CPMB motor. It burned a quart per every 200 miles for about 30,000 miles. I ran some LiquiMoly Jectron through a tank of gas. It improved to a quart every 400 miles. I'm gonna run Liqui Moly Engine Flush with my next oil change. My buddy has a CPMA that burned a quart every 600 miles, after the Jectron and then the engine flush, his improved to a quart every 1500. The oil burning in these cars is caused by piston rings getting clogged with sludge as a result of relief holes that are too small to let the oil seep down into the crankcase when they get just a little dirty. There's nothing inherently wrong with the way the engine itself is built or put together. I don't intend to rebuild this engine, but I do intend to drive it till it dies (which hopefully won't be for another few years). If I were you I'd try out this stuff; My car has over 205,000 miles on it and still runs great. I don't see why yours won't if you just keep adding oil and take care of it. There are some people who will disagree with me and they are rightfully concerned, but I don't have the time or money to completely rebuild the engine on a high mileage car I use just for transportation, especially if it functions perfectly fine while burning some oil.

2015 allroad- zero oil burning- 70K miles. Oil changes every 5K miles. APR stage 1 (highly recommended!)
