2015 Q7 83,000 Miles
I am now up to 1 quart of oil every 300 miles...unbelievable to me. Have had it at the dealer four times fo oil consumption, and after spending over $1,000.00 to fix the issue, the dealer FINALLY is doing an oil use test. Always serviced at the Audi dealership. I have contacted AA and they tell me they haven't had the problem on 3.0s. I'm calling BS on them and the dealer. I have an extended warranty (bought from the Audi dealer) but now am told it probably won't cover piston RING issues. I can't imagine spending $10K to $15K to repair Audi's problem. Suggestions Please...

add me to the list with an 18 Q7 consuming oil, and when I called the dealer they said yes this is common as they get up in mileage, at 65k now. Only advice was to top it off.

Couple of things I did remember which might be helpful for you guys.
My Oil cap was very hard to take off. I could turn it but I needed a lot of force to take it off.
I also heard a higher pitched sound coming from the engine bay which I was told was indicative of the pcv valve leaking.
I also scanned the error code for it. It actually did not show up as a check engine light. Out of frustration I scanned for it. I would not have known otherwise

I just got this today, first came a high-pitched sound, then I tried to take off the oil cap and it required a lot of force, lastly, the check engine light turned on. Is this the sound of the failed PCV which will cost me roughly $2000 to fix at the dealer? I will take it to my local shop and see how much they will charge. I am at a little over 105000 miles right now and add 1 qt every 1000-1500 miles, let's see what this PCV fix will do to my oil consumption.
