I change oil every 5k and when topped off with fresh oil, it will then be almost at the add a quart line after 5k miles when next oil change is needed. Mildly aggressive driving only. warm-up and cool downs observed always. Mobile 0w-30.

It's got 25K on it - about to do my 6th oil change. No vis.leaks.

...that up to 1 quart per 1,000 miles is "normal".

So your consumption rate seems much better compared to what Audi feels is acceptable.

...and my car has seen mostly 0w30 and 0w40 in its lifetime.

Mine use about that much for the first 10K or so...tapered off now...

I burn .5quart every 1K or so, 12K on the clock

It is very slow and may be misdiagnosed as burning. No oil shows on the driveway (unlike inthe pictrue). Only way to tell is to get under the car and look for oil on the bottom of trans...ususally between trans and engine block. (Thanks to mm and ivanis for the picture.)

I still have it happen actually from time to time. I found that my curvy road/city driving and the use of 0w-30 caused the oil to slosh around and burn off a little easier than with 5w-30. I also had a slow leak fixed. Maybe this info will help you.

I use about 1 liter (~quart) every 5000 km (~3000 miles). It does not leak, that is for sure. So it burns it somehow. No discolored coolant or anything else. I use Mobil 1 0W30 or 40 in winter in CA, and 15W50 in summer.
