Default Consuming oil?

I have a 2012 Audi A6 3.0t supercharged and seem to keep having to add oil about 3,000 miles as it gives me the warning that it’s getting low... is this normal? It’s not leaking, did and oil change about 6,000 miles ago (getting an oil change soon) and the warning has came on twice throughout the 6000 miles. Anything I can do? Is that bad or normal? Any information on this helps, thanks!

A quart every 3K-5K miles is normal and acceptable by Audi standards.

Edit...There is a TSB for 2012 A6/A7. Replacement of the crankcase pressure regulating valve is performed...https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...81642-0699.pdf

I’m currently sitting at about 93,660, so is it something I shouldn’t worry about?

I’m in a similar situation with 85k miles on my car. Had the oil changed about 3k miles ago and just got the quart low warning.
