You can doubt that off course. I do not. Switching back from 5w30 to 5w40 made a huge difference in my case. Believe it not. If you do not.. Fine by me :)

I don't think you understand my point. The oil consumption is close to nothing now in terms of Audi standards and is like it was when I bought the car. With 5w30 it was 1 liter/ 800 km. Now with 5w40 it is 1 liter to 7000km. So almost 10 times better. The seller did not overfill it when I bought...

After almost 10k km I have an update on this subject. My oil consumption decreased dramatically with 5w40. I drove 7k km and then the fill oil indicator showed up. For Audi standards this is very reasonable. I changed oil and drove to Italy (3k km) with no decrease on the digital indicator. So I...

Ok, new observation. Tailpipes are black and greasy. The grease is definitely different compared to before ! Does this still fit in the hypothesis of too thin oil after only 300 miles?

Ok, I will ditch the 5W30 and save it for later when I have to add some. Put 5W40 in my car and hope for the best. If it doesn’t help, will do an compression test. Keep u guys posted

How heavy exactly? Recommended is 5w40. Do you mean 5w50?

I could have written this post if i wasnt the TS. Off course i was burning oil. All Audi engines do. But i was not measuring it. Now i do and maybe a already was almost at the threshold value. In combination with a thinner oil maybe it is nothing. I came here for a little peace of mind and i...

Do you have good experience with Total?

Thanks, that gives some comfort. So you dont think hard carbon broke off and scored a cilinderwall? Any advise in what solution to use. B12 is not available in the Netherlands

If your car is very hot (mine is)... there is probably a market

Liquimoly top tec 4200. 10 liters, 105 euros in total..

I agree... I have the same thougt but I just bougth 100 dollars of fine 5w30 oil. That sucks :)

But damage to a piston rings/cilinder walls should turn out in lower compression. So a compression test should expose this problem. Correct?

Hi all, I am new here and landed on this forum. Recently I bought a Q7 with a V63.0 TFSI (CREC) from 2015 with 100k miles. Before I bought it i was in doubt because these engines are prone to consume oil because of the narrow holes in de oil scraper ring get clogged. When I bought the car I...
