Im on the 2nd A4 audi, first one with 260000km, still didnt consumed 1l on 10k. I have also a subaru, i change every 5k, so i dont notice oil consumption. But, i had a Honda with the d16z6 engine... boy... that one was like a 2 stroker. 1l 500km. Vtec liked oil.

Hello from India , my December 2011 make VW Polo 1.2 TDI driven 150000kms consumes 500ml to 1500ml engine oil depending upon cold starts running instantly without warming up. Another factor that I have noticed is different brands of oils are consumed or oxidised differently depending on their quality. 1. When I used Castrol Magnatec professional 5w-40 for 6 consecutive oil changes, engine consumed or oxidised 750ml oil in every 15000kms. 2. When I changed to Castrol Edge 5w-40 for the 7th service at 105000kms, engine consumed or oxidised just 500ml in 15000kms. 3. Now when VW workshop changed to Shell 5w-40 inside their VW printed grey bottle for 120000kms mark and 135000kms mark, Engine consumed or oxidised 1500ml reaching 15000kms. So what I have felt is, it's not only the engine's design flaw that contributes to the oil consumption but also the chemistry of the oil that contributes to the oil consumption.

I drink 1 litre of oil every 3 months that keeps my joints in shape, does it mean I'm German?

Like my German colleague answers for almost every question, “it depends” 😂

The oil consumption issue is due to the piston rings they used from 2009 to mid 2013. They are thin to "reduce friction" and get coked up with carbon really easily and don't scrape oil off the cylinder walls like they should. They either get stuck inside the ring lands or in more extreme cases, get stuck slightly expanded and break scoring up the cylinder walls, etc. You can try doing a piston soak with Marvel Mystery Oil by simply removing a spark plug, making sure the piston is at bottom dead center and simply pouring it in through the spark plug hole filling the cylinder. Obviously, you don't run the engine in this condition. Let it sit anywhere from a few hours to overnight. Then with the plug still removed, crank the engine over ( Remove the fuel pump fuse so it doesn't try and fire and the injectors aren't spraying gasoline into the cylinder you are trying to clean out.) to remove the remaining MMO. Place a shop rag over the hole to collect what sprays out. Replace the spark plug, coil, and fuses you pulled and change the oil. Next, drive it like you stole it for a while on the highway. It will probably smoke a little and that's to be expected due to some MMO remaining in the cylinders.

I also injected distilled water steam to the air intake while engine idling for at least 15 minutes. And drove the car hard. Repeated the process 5 times each day. That helped recover compression from 170 to 178 and got rid of oil consumption.

I’m a little confused, how to you crank the engine over to make the pistons be at the bottom like you said. And also why would I need to replace the spark plug and coil if it’s the piston rings that are the issue. Lastly, would I replace each spark plug and coil or just the ones from which I poured the MMO in, i guess you’d pour MMO on every piston

@shanemitchell5807

It's the poor design of the oil ring holes in the piston and the oil rings themselves. The oil ring holes in the piston get blocked and the oil cannot be wiped off the cylinder walls and return to the sump. The oil therefore enters the combustion chamber and is burnt. I was told this by my VW dealer and I'm having my pistons and rings replaced. They recon that this problem was only discovered 2 years ago, I call bullshit as VAG have known about this for at least 5 years. VAG are super dishonest....Don't buy their products! You will get caught eventually and be up for big $$$$ to fix their design flaws.

My clutch was still working fine after 500,000 kilometers when I sold the car. Engine was producing smoke probably valve seals and maybe rings on 1.8T

Audi used slightly oval pistons in the A4 2.0t....i did hundreds of pistons and rings jobs at the dealership, we swapped A3 pistons and rings into A4 and that stopped it. Sometimes you would find scored cylinder walls and had to replace the block.

From reading comments... sounds like EVERY VW 0_o

No one is scamming you out of engine oil. Why the inflammatory title? My B7 A4 was doing fine without any appreciable oil consumption, up until the PCV valve failed in the open state a short while ago, causing so much pressure that oil is now leaking a bit. My Audi is quite old now being made in 2005. It has to do with the piston rings and the amount of exhaust gases building up. It's not just Audis that have this problem, but there are several things that can fail that can cause the engine to burn or leak oil. He is correct, it's not normal, but I am suggesting that his Audi had some issue that he didn't know about, or that he's not telling us about. Either way, he said that he had no major problems with his A3, so why is he worried? Why didn't he try to find the solution before selling it? Now it's someone else's problem I guess. Maybe it's just me, but I would not sell a car without telling the new owner what's going on with it, especially if I felt strongly enough to make a KZread video of it.

Instead of labeling it a scam and going ahead and using different oil weight you should have taken your car to Audi service center and tell them you want "oil consumption test" done which is free. And if Audi service center confirms your car in fact consumes unnatural amounts of oil they will fix your car at free of charge. True story because it happened to my 2010 A4 2.0T in 2016. Audi dealer ended up changing pistons, piston rings, all gaskets and whatever else for free as a settlement to customers with this problem. Go figure its scam genius.

Well, the huge fines that VW / audi has received for the scam has to be paid from somewhere. This means that the quality has deteriorated very quickly. I recently heard that the (far too weak) chain driven camshaft that also drives the oil pump of a vw (vw golf I believe) just runs in aluminum ..... unbelievable. This means that if the chain drive breaks, it only takes a few seconds and the head is damaged so that the head has to be removed. I have always been an Audi fan but the time when they built good cars ..... your 80s and 90s ..... is over. My next car no audi.

Hello. What about the audi a3 1.5 petrol 2017/2018 tfsi engines with the oil consumption levels?did they fix it and if so what did audi do to solve it please?

Audi isn’t “scamming” anyone. The oil consumption issue is actually 2 factors. #1 being the design of the pcv system which is very minimal consumption, just check for oil in your boost hoses. #2 being the design of the pistons that VW makes Audi use in the 2.0 and smaller motors which causes the piston rings to wear prematurely, hence the recall and warranty extensions. And let’s not forget, all of the German manufactures were screwing with emissions, VW just got caught.

The older 2.0 PCV systems dumped a lot of oil in the intake too. I wonder if that was a part of it? Not sure of the exact year it changed but at least 2017 and newer have a much better PCV system.

My brother had the same car as yours which he purchased brand new and he managed to slow the consumption problem by using Motul Sport Ester 5W-50 oil. As you said 10W - 60 was to thick which he tried and settled for Motul. Great oil.

got b9 a4 tdi 2.0, i just bought it and there were 4litres of oil inside, and i changed it for 4,7 litres of new one, so it did not consume more than 0,7L for last 30.000 km, I wonder if it will drain as much as youre suggesting, if yes ill be super sad :D and id have to not change oil but add oil 6x per 30.000 km of suggested change intervals by audi.

I can tell you about why the oil problems exists on VW AG engines. Lack of running in process in the first kilometres of the car when new. No matter how close to perfectly round the cylinders are drilled at the factory, there are minute imperfections in the cylinder wall. By using top gear on the motorway and going from 2000rpm (90km/h) to 3000rpm (160km/h) rapidly (full throttle) and then letting the car compression brake back down to 90 or 100 km/h, the rings will be compressed under load, and press firmly against the cyclinder wall. You car might use 0.25 to 0.5 L in the run in process, but after that, no / minimal / usual consumption (until piston rings worn out).

Yes, but you forgot one really important think and it is in Germany drivers drive the cars like a man. 1.4lit engine 160km/h... 1.6engine 180km/h and if you drive so all the time on highway in 160oookm...you can't miss oil consumption... LOL

If those oil rings are replaced, problem with oil consumption is solved. I have 2 Audis, old 2.6 and 4.2. and I have no problems with oil consumption at all (both of them are around 280.000 km).

Congratulations amigo....I really like your video....very interesting what you explained....keep it up my amigo and thanks for the video...

The beauty of having to add oil between oil changes is that you are technically trimming the oil charge , that can prolong engine life and prevent for further damage. I’ve seen guys use that B-12 gunk remover and getting rid of the problem , but it varies in all cases , some people succeed and some don’t.

The problem is : - Low tension oil scraping rings (wear very quickly due to the strength of Alusil cylinder bores). - Piston oil drain holes are too small and are misplaced. Effective Solution 1: new pistons and rings. Solution that works for some cases: Three stages engine flush using BG 109 as called BG EPR

I drive a 2017 Audi a6 with stage 2 apr 100 tune pushing over 533hp. I have no problems but I change my oil every 10k miles with amsoil.... so maybe why its better. 😆

My dad bought his A6 2.0 TFSI 2009 brand new. It took about 2L oil in 15 000km. In 2014 I bought the car from him and changed to 5W-40 and it takes about 1-1.5L in 15 000km. Thing is, the car has now 210 000km and it consumes just as much oil as it did when it was brand new. I'm guessing it's by design(Not a good design though) :) But still that is acceptable. His previous Audi A4 B7 1.8T did not consume a drip of oil in 15 000km

They were found guilty of having used very weak material for pistons on a certain batch of Engines. Audi here in RSA told me "it was normal" for my car to be guzzling oil. I refused and made them replace all the pistons. This was a car which I bought brand-new and was only 3 years old at the time. The problem is now over.

My 2009 Mazda 2 1.5 has 130.000km and does not consume any oil at all. It's been almost 10.000km since I last changed the oil and the level is still on full! My mother's 2010 Renault Clio 1.2 16v has 120.000km and consumes about 0.5-1l for every oil change (which she does at 20.000km cause she only drives to work and back on country roads, so the engine is under very little stress). I think the reason why a lot of newer cars, especially ones with small turbo engines consume a lot of oil is because manufacturers are making engines with looser tolerances in order to achieve a cheap and easy way to reduce friction inside the engine and get slightly better fuel economy and emission figures. But this, as I said, a "cheap and easy" was of doing it. Not a good way.

I have an Audi 2012 with 2.0TFSI engine and now 114.7k miles. At 80K it began consuming oil abnormally, at 100K it was eating 1 QT every 350-400 miles. At 112.7k miles, I did a Berryman's B12 piston soak via the spark plug port, I took my time and rented another car for a week and also went on a trip, two weeks time and repeated treatment, rotate and soak. Then I did liquimoly engine flush and replaced oil. I have now driven 2000 miles and guess what, no abnormal oil consumption and car is working great, highway MPG 27+ on I-95 from NC to NY this past week, in and about town 21MPG. Obviously this doesn't correct the design issues however I now have a procedure that will extend the life and performance of this vehicle for another 40K miles where I predict that I will need to replace the timing chain.

All cars consume oil dude! The difference is only the quantity consumed. For some is almost nothing like your Subaru others is too much like the audi

Sorry to bother you but some doesnt. I have om602.984 in sprinter. It has over 628 thousand kilometres with only glowplugs and cylinder 1 injector replaced. Doesnt use any oil. I do oil at 10 thousand kilometres with good quality oil and its never below max. No need to add any oil it doesnt use any.

My daily smoker is a 2010 1.8 TSI CDAA engine that has used a lot of oil from new. Over the last year, consumption has suddenly ramped up to just 288 miles per litre. The weird thing is that it has recently passed the emissions test and does not noticeably smoke. I guess that the Cat must look like a diesel particle filter by now but its still working. As a fix, I am just about to fit new Kloben Schmidt 40251600 pistons which are the BZB pistions with the 21mm pins and new style and larger rings. That saves me from having to change the conrods to 23mm which are massively expensive and I don't trust the poverty pattern rods. The new pistons are £270 inclusive for 4 from KMotorshop.

I had a Toyota corolla brand new from 2010 with the 1.4 turbodiesel engine.Every 10000 km burnt 1 liter oil.For the rest no problems in the 8 years I drove it.

Well your Subaru will just leak out most of the oil , so you replaced one problem with another 🤷...

I used to use Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5W40 in my 2014 S4 and would have to add ~2 liters in between oil changes (which I do every 10,000 km or so). The last oil change I did, I used OEM Volkswagen 502.00/505.00, and from the time that I added the oil to the time that I drained it for my next change, the oil level gauge in my MMI dropped by maybe 1cm at most, so I'm guessing it only burned 1/4 or 1/5 of a liter over those 10,000 km. My brother uses Liqui Moly in his 2010 A5, though, and it consumes very little in between changes, around the same amount as my S4. Really it seems like you just need to try different brands until you find one your car likes. (Both cars are at ~120,000 km btw)

Just purchased my son 2013 A4 with 92K miles. They supposedly done a complete service before we picked it up. 1 week later low oil level light came on and they said it was normal and topped it off. Now 2 months later light comes on saying stop now and oil level says zero. And of course there is no dipstick I’m completely lost. Any help or advice would be great. This was my sons 16th birthday gift 😞 He only drives maybe 10 miles per day.

I've owned 6 Audis in the last 22 years and for the most part they are pretty good with oil. My 2016 S6 goes through a quart (little less than a liter) of oil every 5,000 miles but that's when I'm changing it anyway. It's tuned, so I expect a bit more oil consumption. My 2010 Audi A6 3.0T had major issues with oil consumption. That was consuming about a quart of oil every 600 miles. I redid the rings and the problem stopped. He is definitely right about Audi saying that is normal in the owner's manual.

Dacia Logan 1.4 8v doesn't " drink" any oil on 828.707 km...... Taxi car.... Just start on petrol.... After that runs on LPG.....

08 Accord 2.4L (170k km) after 10,000km oil is still full, I love Japanese Vehicles.

I own a 2020 VW Jetta with the 1.4T engine and 6-speed manual transmission. When I first purchased it new, the oil level was EXACTLY at the FULL mark on the dipstick. Car currently has 5,500 miles on it. Before it’s first oil change at 5,000 miles, I noticed that the oil level had dropped and was now registering right in the middle of the dipstick. These engines call for VW Spec 508/509 0W20 grade oil. My experience in the past with a 2007 VW GTI 2.0T, that would consume 1 quart of 0W40 oil every 5,000 miles. So I guess you’re right about VW changing the engine designs so that they consume less oil. Also, do you have any idea why VW/Audi is calling for this new 0W20 oil? VW has always used 5W40 or 0W40 502/505 Spec oil. I feel like this high boost, small displacement 1.4T engine needs a thicker oil, especially considering VW/Audi is calling for 10,000 mile drain intervals. What are your thoughts? Thanks again. Nice info!
