I'm at 50K miles, and change per schedule at dealer, and have never seen the MMI drop off the full line. So either its not burning a drop, or they overfill or the gauge is not working. I bought a dipstick, and after 5K since last service, it is very barely off the full mark, so all is fine. My next change I'm going to do myself and get it to full without overfilling (if they did, who knows).

Thank you for your quick reply.
I currently have an A4 B8 1.8 tfsi and I've spent a lot time to find one (without this issue) or with this problem already being fixed,even throughout Germany,and indeed ,no top needed in more than 10k km.But now my thoughts and wishes are going to a A6 2.0 tfsi ,non-facelit..and I don't want the same intensive searches that I passed through almost 2 years ago.
Glad to hear that ,still strange ,sine I've heard that more or less it's the same engine used for A6 C6 ,and for that one for sure I was reading some complains.

Thanks,

I have a 2016 Audi A6 with the 2.0L engine. It now has about 21K miles. I had the oil changed at 5K miles and again at 15K miles. It now has about 6K miles on the oil and the oil level is down about 10% on the display. The display, of course, is reading only the top quart in the sump. So, I would estimate that the oil consumption rate for my car is about 1 qt per 50K miles. I believe it used about 1/2 qt during the initial break in period ( during the first 5K miles.) No need to add oil at all.

I attribute this low oil consumption rate to two things;

1. Audi has gotten the crankcase pressure issue solved.

2. I broke in the engine "by the book". I am also very easy on the engine when the car is cold. Although there is no oil temp indicator, I know from my other cars that it takes 20 minutes for the oil to get up to full operating temp in winter and about 10-15 minutes in summer. There are notes about this in the owner's manual. This is a great engine.... powerful and efficient. It does make 4 cyl noises when cold but when warm or on the highway, it is silent.

Thanks for reply.
Yours is the facelift one,and as far as I'm aware the well known oil consumption problem applies for TFSIs 2008-2011 (or 2012) ,as for A4 B8 ,the fix came along with the new facelift one after 2012 - but since A6 C7 pre-facelift started with 2011 I'm quite confused if the problem applies or not ,or what could be considered a normal consumption for it.
For example,for A6 C6 ,some of the users are reporting about 1.5l/8000 km ,which is not so much as per this well-known issue where you might have even 1l/2000km ,but still is quite high consumption..so not sure if C7 could be the same here

I have a 2012 2.0T with 54,500 miles, and it still does not consume oil even right up to the end of the 10k oil change intervals like right now. I had AudiCare which is now over, so I'm about to DIY the 55k oil change.

The PCV was replaced at 40k mi preemptively in a TSB, apparently because the rubber valve could break, and I believe they also changed the pressure at which it operates.
