Have a 2016 Q5 with the 2.0T engine we purchased new. Only has about 65,000 miles on it currently. We have always used Liqui Moly 5W-40 fully synthetic oil and changed at 5,000 miles. Previously the oil would always be right on the full mark prior to doing the oil change. Last time around we made it to 4,000 miles and the low oil light came on. Dumped in 1 quart and continued to drive till the next scheduled change. After that last service we now only made it to 1,000 miles and the low oil light is already back on. Theres no way it could be suddenly burning that much oil could it? Been doing some reading and other people have mentioned possibly an issue with the PCV, Valve cover, or turbo itself causing it to use oil like this? Curious what your thought are on this? We really don't want to get rid of this vehicle already especially with such low miles on it. Thanks!!

My 2015 SQ5 did the same thing. Stop driving the car immediately before you are stuck with a car that needs 5,000 in repairs. It's a piston and rings issues that will also cause problems in cylinder 3. Trust me it will end in costly repairs due to Audi not up grading materials for known issue.Originally Posted by s4duramax
